Alone on a lengthy journey (Thiên lý độc hành)
1. |
1. I come back to the realm of the empty mind

3. On the side of the pass There A hidden soul shrine Is In the sky There An illusion of lanterns Flickering and flowers Is The shadows of the old trees spread I grasp the mountain grass Dreaming Mesmerized by beauty |
4. |
4. Already Thousands of years Of waiting In anguish The shadow of a lone step On earthly sunset Because We are the soul Of rock In sadness The shores of sadness Embracing Completely Sunlight |
5. |
5. From the beginning we are here Around us Tree leaves change colors Suddenly hearing in every single Breath Anxiety Looming In our soul behind the reed |
6. |
6. On the peak of the high Pass Looking out to the vast forest Clouds Clear water And sky Incredibly From us We pave the way Knitting the fabrics Of experience And thought Our former life Exists On the empty shore |
7. |
7. Coming back, we tilt our cone in greeting Meeting on the pass The reed forest waiting Is Misfortune Time, from the beginning Flowing in our future life Is We are still as helpless As the lonely dust Perhaps along the road. |
8. |
8. As darkness sets in Pouring like waterfalls Rain in the forest The road Protruding as the cliff Threatens to tilt the sky Who would be at fault like a specter of a century? Altogether marching Toward the Reincarnation Realm Across the town like olden days Where we traveled by horse Across the town Is another herd Of the Devil Ups and downs Their blinded eyes Under floodwater Stepping in Our feet roll As the sand drifts Then We tumble down Listening to the stream Pour down blood The body itself is the body Like the changing of leaf and grass Bumpy Waiting for the rain to stop The moon used as a mattress After thousands of years White flowers are blossoming On the hill |
9. |
9. Sending back my love As the forest grass I am coming to town As the greater love For all Incenses Giving life Shining Spirited A rock As deep as the sea And mist In the stratosphere |
10. |
10 A pebble My life Sunshine flowing along streams Or The pensive old reeds Asking How old are we? |
11. |
11 The grass glitters with dew As we are walking Deep in the dreamlike forest Into the state of empty mind Rolling clouds and particles become clear |
12. |
12 All are here To continue As day after day Continues Blinded In the lingering image The forest leaves Following the old path Along the mountain trench Still Why are we Imprinted in the solitary stray? |
13. |
13. Remember Whenever we go or come back Don’t forget to fasten the cone hat It is the cold rain In the high pass without anyone to look after! Remember: Emptiness The human realm Is |
