My home was at Cold Mountain from
the start,
Rambling among the hills, far from
trouble.
Gone, and a million things leave
no trace
Loosed, and it flows through
galaxies
A fountain of light, into the very
mind -
Not a thing, and yet it appears
before me:
Now I know the pearl of the Buddha
nature
Know its use: a boundless perfect
sphere.
When men see Han-shan
They all say he's crazy
And not much to look at
-
Dressed in rags and
hides.
They don't get what I
say
And I don't talk their
language.
All I can say to those I
meet:
"Try and make it to Cold
Mountain."
