Everyday tea, Always comfortable

Always comfortable

_______

A leaf being drawn

in a tea cup.

It appears, disappears and

disappears, appears again.

It flows down through the neck and

spreads through the whole body,

delicately,

deeply and quietly.

.

.

Thoughts arising,

feelings arising.

Thoughts falling away,

feelings falling away.

Empty of all thoughts.

Empty of all feelings.

Everything

is solved. 

Won Kang,  2015

Doing the easy thing

Bright and brightly.

Clear, limpid green water drops

blooming in the air.

Tree branches having a refreshing stretch.

Thoughts being emptied.

A breath being taken in and out.

It is
always
  in front of us.  

Where there is no clash,

where there is no flowing against,

where there is serene harmoniousness.

Bright meeting with all things,

bright behaviour,

being untinged.

The goodness of our heart.

Walking the right path

"What am I?"

The collapse of colossal castle buildings.  

A word out in the middle of it.

A sorrowful cry of a little boy.

A question

that cannot be answered by any one,

by any almighty power.

A journey to find the answer begins

with a mystical boy of strong gentleness. 

The way to the answer

reveals itself only when

we lay down ourselves in humility

and total honesty without any bit of lying.

Let us walk the way.

The right way

I and I become friends,

you and I become friends,

we all become friends together.

Now. 

Release the tensions in our mind and body 

and just leave everything to it.

The key

is already in our hands.

Making no distinction

Among stones,

among the green leaves where winter is still staying,

cute yellow glow sprinkled.

Mellow pink light

in bloom

next to the road of bright afternoon sunshine.

A sweet smell.

Where spring passes by.

I know:

Going is not going,

coming is not coming.

There is no good and bad.

It is just 

clothes being worn and taken off.
