Ancient Thoughts
Though the winds are dormant, the flowers fall.
The mountains become more poignant with the singing of birds.
The sky and white clouds awaken together
While the water and radiant moon flow in harmony.

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

Autumn Day Couplets
The familiar sound of rain patters on the bamboo-covered eaves,
And the valley's dense autumn foliage is rich with fall's abundant hue.
From the garden trees fall lonely crimson leaves
While the lovely yellow blossoms cry in the morning dew.

Eating when hungry, sleeping when tired
Eating when hungry, sleeping when tired
Calling on clear waters and green mountains on a whim
I make myself at home either in the fishing villages
Or in the roads lined with taverns

Poem of Enlightenment
Unexpectedly hearing from a stranger that there is no nostril,
I suddenly realized that the whole universe is my home.
In the June winding roads beneath Yeonam Mountains,
Farmers leisurely give praise with songs of peace.

Huineng's Verse
Bodhi originally has no tree.
The bright mirror also has no stand.
Since Buddha nature is always pure,
Where could dust alight?

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

Farewell
I wanted to write you a poem
before you depart on your long journey,
But the tears flow before I could begin.

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

Shenxiu's Verse
The body is the bodhi tree,
The mind is like a clear mirror.
At all times you must strive to polish it
And must not let dust alight.

The majestic Great Way is bright and clear
The majestic Great Way is bright and clear.
Everyone is originally endowed with it, and each one has already attained it.

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!
