Child-like Buddha

no home but one cave
not one thing I have inside
clean it is empty impressive
and brightly lit every day
veggies I feed this worthless body
a cloth coat covers illusion
let your thousand sages come
I have the child-like Buddha

-- 寒山 [Hán Shān] -- Translation by 白狐 [Bái Hú] --

「Hán Shān Shī #163」
yú jiā yŏu yī kū
kū zhōng wú yī wù
jìng-jié kōng táng-táng
guāng-huá míng rì rì
shū shí yăng wēi qū
bù qiú zhē huàn zhì
rèn nĭ qiān shèng xiàn
wŏ yŏu tiān-zhēn fó

[tiān-zhēn-de = "Heaven-real"
> innocent, naive, child-like
> like a kitten that playfully plays with mice,
before its cat-nature kicks in
and it will playfully kill the mice]

"my home is one cave
cave in not-have one thing
clean empty impressive
brilliance bright day day
veggies feed support tiny human-body
cloth coat cover/conceal unreal quality
let your thousand sages appear/come
I have heaven true buddha"
