Let the Ghosts Dance on the Silent Wall (图)

Let the Ghosts Dance on the Silent Wall Let the inner heart Breathe— 1, 2, 3 . . . Put the troubled world To sleep Tuck the corners Of blanket gently Don’t disturb The brooding sky Blow out The lights Let the inner Heart breathe Like a river Running wide Let it turn Into a sheet Of blank paper On which no word Is needed Let the light Come and fall Like the ghost Dancing On the silent wall Let the shadow Dance and die Let the fears Turn around Allow yourself Love a little At a time No more No less Let the heart Die Before A new you Get born Let Your inner Heart Breathe 1, 2, 3 . . . :: z.z. 2005 [foto by Adi Da]

改改:

...
让它变成
一张空白的纸
无需写一个字
...

[知凡]

让幽灵在静静的墙上跳舞


让精神的内心
呼吸--
1, 2, 3 . . .
让不安的世界
睡去
轻轻盖好毯子
的每一角
不要打扰
沉思的天空
吹灭
灯火
让亲密的内
心呼吸
像河流
流入宽广
让它变成
一张空白的纸
一个字也不要
让光
降临又黯淡
让幽灵
在静静的墙上
舞蹈
让影子
跳舞死亡
让恐惧转身
让自己
每次
爱得
感觉正好
在一个新的你
诞生前
让心
死去
让
你
核心的
心
呼吸
1, 2, 3
. . .

my reading 其实是刹那间的，蕴体是刹那变化的本性!!!

刹那变化。。。

“离蕴的自主"我"是不存在的

"我"与"我"所自主的"我"是不存在的”

很喜欢。。。谢谢！！！

[LTG]

"刹那变化的本性"

well, look at it this way

:

human BODY is also biological---

that is, it grows, gets old, and slowly perish...

sad?

but true

:)

therefore: everything changes...

[me too, SD]

I have hard time to post tonight. DO you have the same problem? or only me?

[LTG]

zf:

无底的井，无尽的天，无穷的人:)但都逃不过“如来”的掌心。。。“如来”是否也可以解释为“蕴体”，一个人，一首诗又何尝不是一个“蕴体”。。。。

well-said....!!!

sd:

hope ur eyes r not hurting ...:)

the idea of "no self" is counter point to "ego"....

mostpeople cling to the "ego" because that's all they have...

[by水滴]

To me, "the self hidden within" never changes. 本性 should be close to self, so it shouldn't change all the time. Only mind, thoughts, feelings change all the time...

Therefore "刹那变化的本性" sound controversial to me. SO I am unable to interpret what 蕴体 means. :)

[by水滴]

ZZ: thanks for explain the "蕴". ALthough I still don't quite get it, oh well, maybe this is something beyond words that can explain, need "悟”。：）

the photos are tiny, I did try hard, can't see well...:)

[LTG]

wow! zf, your reading is deeeeeep!!

agree with you on "all arts lead to the same destination"...

:)


sd:

"蕴" seems to me means "hiding," "carrying within"...

thus "the self hidden within"...

but the "self" changes every day, every year....

you might have the same name, but your look, your mind, etc., are no longer the same as before...

[LTG]

SD:

maybe u r trying 2 hard :))

those pics are incredibly

artistic

&

spiritual

...

human + nature

melt into

each

other

:)

[知凡]

我发现所有的艺术，诗，智慧，人，佛，天等等似乎都是相通的。。。只要自己用心灵和身体去感觉。。。

不瞒你说，读这首诗歌里的每一层，因为很有感觉，读完让我想起一个舞蹈动作，我觉得很舒服的一个动作，就是那种做的时候心像花一样开放的感觉。。。现在体会一下没想到会和the wisdom of Buddhism沾边:)

simple "con
cept"

bottomless
well

无底的井，无尽的天，无穷的人:)但都逃不过“如来”的掌心。。。“如来”是否也可以解释为“蕴体”，一个人，一首诗又何尝不是一个“蕴体”。。。。

无穷： "wealth" 。。。

>>>

蕴体是刹那变化的本性

:

离蕴的自主"我"是不存在的

"我"与"我"所自主的"我"是不存在的

>>> 让我想起the infinity symbol，是循环，是通路。。。

a quotation?

what does 蕴 mean here?

>>>don't ask me why :)

but it "sounds" good 2 me...

[by水滴]

I am unable to preceive and interprete those images. May be my eye vision is deteriorating...:)


Recently, ZZ is falling deep into his heart! :))

[影云]

[LTG]

"according to the wisdom of Buddhism
human "heart" has many layers
troubled, confused & chaotic
...........................

but the true "heart" is There
in everyone of us................."

[LTG]

trying...

:)

afterall

"wealth"

comes

from

within
...

[影云]

zf:

glad you also found that quality in it
...............

[知凡]

真的很喜欢这首诗，因为不知道该怎么说。。。很有感觉。。。

但读完的感觉好像真的是一层一层，层层剥离，有血液在舞的感觉，层层深入inner heart的感觉。。。

inner heart...无穷无尽。。。如果能呼吸，如果能开出花来，一定很美。。。

[作舟诗集]

thanx, y.y.!!!

"transforming".....mmmmmm...more than i could hope for....

:)

but

silence

silence

...

[影云]

Love this WHOLE poem . . . smooth, beautiful, and with a rhythm of dancing / transforming . . .

Let the light
Come and fall
Like the ghost
Dancing
On the silent wall
