A deer in the wilds
As a deer in the wilds, unfettered,
Goes wherever it wants,
A wise person, valuing freedom,
Wanders alone as a rhinoceros horn.

On a Clear Night
In remote mountain, dense forest, empty sounds of the wind,
The nocturnal air is chilly with bright moon and breeze so light.
How regrettable that men, all in deep slumber,
Do not know the pleasures of this beautiful clear night!

Jade Forest
So pure and flawless this jewl is
Its roots and shoots do not change with the seasons.
It is originally such; this has never left home.
Foreshadowing the eons of emptiness, its leaves and stems flourish.

In Perfect Stillness
In perfect stillness,
A thousand embodiments manifest.
In restless commotion,
Not a thing exists.
What is this that does not exist?
Chrysanthemums bloom
After the frost.

At Oeo-sa Temple
No dharma has root; therefore, it is created on its own.
If only we could illuminate the un-created dharma,
Clearly there would be no pointless struggle on the path towards enlightenment.
Why toil desperately where no toil is needed?
Struggling forlo

A Vow by Ven. Wonhyo
Now that I believe and obey
The profound and subtle teachings of the vajrasamadhi,
I roughly scribble some of my thoughts.
I pray that these virtuous roots
Spread far and wide thoughout the world
And benefit all, with on one left out

Last year's Poverty was not Real Poverty
Last year's poverty was not real poverty
This year's poverty is real
Last year, there was no ground wherein to plunge an awl
This year, not even the awl remains

The Mind-ground gives birth to Seeds
The mind-ground gives birth to seeds
And due to particulars further gives birth to principle
When the fruit is matured and the bodhi perfect
The flower opens and the world is produced

There is no mind and nothing to be attained
There is no mind and nothing to be attained.
If you say you have attained it, that it is not called Dharma.
If you realize the mind is not mind,
For the first time you understand the mind and mind-Dharma.

The Mind Follows the Revolutions of the Percepts
The mind follows the revolutions of the percepts,
But where they revolve in reality is obscured.
By following the flow of the percepts,
One can recognize and attain their nature
Which has neither joy nor grief.

Where can I find Amitabha Buddha?
Where can I find Amitabha Buddha?
Keep this question always in mind and never forget
When all thought is exhausted and you reach the state of non-thought
Red golden light will gush from your six sensory gates

Please drink this cup of tea
One sip will bring about immeasurable joy

Flowers Smile at the Rain on the Doorstep
Flowers smile at the rain on the door step
Pines sing to the wind passing the balustrade
Why bother to seek marvelous teachings?
This is the teaching that penetrates true nature

Blue Mountain Tells Me
Blue mountain tells me to live in silence
Blue sky tells me to live in purity
To let go of anger and to let go of greed
To live like the water and to live like the wind

The light of the lonely mind of the full moon
The light of the lonely mind of the full moon
Has engulfed all things;
When both light and object are fogotten
What is this again?
