Cold Mountain's Song #286

from Song Islands vol. 2 by Mount Eerie

/

lyrics

INSPIRED BY THIS POEM BY HAN SHAN (COLD MOUNTAIN):
I see people chanting sutras
relying on the words of others
mouths at work without their minds
mouths and minds at odds
the mind in truth contains no tangles
it creates no walls or chains
just examine your own self
don’t look for a stand-in
he who masters his own mouth
knows there’s no inside or out
(translated by Red Pine)
