The Range of the "I"
by Seon Master Kusan
How can we search
for the great truth of the universe
While staying at the surface?
Can we be separated for even a ksana
from this vivd spirit?
LEaning on an inverted moon-staff,
we go laughing loudly.
The value of the "I"
by Seon Master Kusan
Even if the world was pure gold,
It would not be precious to me.
All the holiness of the sages:
What does it do for me?
The bright moon shining on Jogye Mountain
is the brightness of my mind.
