Let the Ghosts Dance on the Silent Wall (圖)

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:

...
讓它變成
一張空白的紙
無需寫一個字
...

[知凡]

讓幽靈在靜靜的牆上跳舞


讓精神的內心
呼吸--
1, 2, 3 . . .
讓不安的世界
睡去
輕輕蓋好毯子
的每一角
不要打擾
沉思的天空
吹滅
燈火
讓親密的內
心呼吸
像河流
流入寬廣
讓它變成
一張空白的紙
一個字也不要
讓光
降臨又黯淡
讓幽靈
在靜靜的牆上
舞蹈
讓影子
跳舞死亡
讓恐懼轉身
讓自己
每次
愛得
感覺正好
在一個新的你
誕生前
讓心
死去
讓
你
核心的
心
呼吸
1, 2, 3
. . .

my reading 其實是刹那間的，蘊體是刹那變化的本性!!!

刹那變化。。。

“離蘊的自主"我"是不存在的

"我"與"我"所自主的"我"是不存在的”

很喜歡。。。謝謝！！！

[LTG]

"刹那變化的本性"

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:

無底的井，無盡的天，無窮的人:)但都逃不過“如來”的掌心。。。“如來”是否也可以解釋為“蘊體”，一個人，一首詩又何嚐不是一個“蘊體”。。。。

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 "刹那變化的本性" sound controversial to me. SO I am unable to interpret what 蘊體 means. :)

[by水滴]

ZZ: thanks for explain the "蘊". 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:

"蘊" 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

我發現所有的藝術，詩，智慧，人，佛，天等等似乎都是相通的。。。隻要自己用心靈和身體去感覺。。。

不瞞你說，讀這首詩歌裏的每一層，因為很有感覺，讀完讓我想起一個舞蹈動作，我覺得很舒服的一個動作，就是那種做的時候心像花一樣開放的感覺。。。現在體會一下沒想到會和the wisdom of Buddhism沾邊:)

simple "con
cept"

bottomless
well

無底的井，無盡的天，無窮的人:)但都逃不過“如來”的掌心。。。“如來”是否也可以解釋為“蘊體”，一個人，一首詩又何嚐不是一個“蘊體”。。。。

無窮： "wealth" 。。。

>>>

蘊體是刹那變化的本性

:

離蘊的自主"我"是不存在的

"我"與"我"所自主的"我"是不存在的

>>> 讓我想起the infinity symbol，是循環，是通路。。。

a quotation?

what does 蘊 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...:)

"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]

"wealth"

from

within

[影雲]

zf:

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

[知凡]

真的很喜歡這首詩，因為不知道該怎麽說。。。很有感覺。。。

但讀完的感覺好像真的是一層一層，層層剝離，有血液在舞的感覺，層層深入inner heart的感覺。。。

inner heart...無窮無盡。。。如果能呼吸，如果能開出花來，一定很美。。。

[作舟詩集]

thanx, y.y.!!!

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

:)

but

silence

silence

...

[影雲]

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
