Sun (亻天) Poems
Chung-San Ge-song (청산게송)
The mind fills the cosmos, And the cosmos fills the mind. The Way of the cosmos is the Way of the mind, The Way of mind is the Way of the cosmos, Mind and cosmos are not two.
Humans are the masters of the cosmos, Its mysteries are filled in humans. Through the Jung (essence) - Ki (mind & spirit) - Sin (heart) Danjeon Haeng-gong, When the power of the universe flows through the body, Mind and body become free without any limitation.
Chungsan is ever boundless and pure, Fortune and glory find no place in my dreams. My belly is laden with cosmic Jung(精), My head is full of cosmic Ki(氣), My mind glows with cosmic Sin(神).
After twenty years of unwavering practice, My sole aspiration is saving all living beings. Before spreading this Way of Practice Passed down to me from Su-seung-nim[s] (Grandmasters), How could I forsake the worldly ties fate has woven?
Let Us Embrace the Bak (을 받세)
- An Exhortation to Embrace the Bak (Gwon-sun-si, 권선시, 勸 亻天 詩)
The bright world is returning, hasten to embrace it What is the way to receive it? Open wide your eyes and ears Sweep clean both inside and outside the yard, receive the Bak in abundance Take a good look at three-foot-tall children, glowing with their own radiant light
Do not wander to the dark cliffs, lest you plummet ten thousand feet Blinded by yellow gold and white jade, you won’t see the abyss ahead Awaken when dawn breaks, for you will be lost if you slumber too long The bright world is returning, look closely all around you
Mount Bak raises its head high, Mount Halla waves its tail with joy Grains grow in spring and summer, yielding a golden harvest in autumn Having endured hardship in youth, you'll find prosperity in elder days Practice the way of receiving the Ba'rk, do not laugh off this message
cf. Bak: sun, the light of the sun, the power and virtue of the sun
