A Monk of Clay, A Mirror of Self

A Monk of Clay, A Mirror of Self

“Half a life in practice, half a life in doubt.”

He sits with closed eyes,
not because he sees nothing,
but because he has seen too much.

Half a life spent seeking truth,
Half a life lost wandering in thought.

Made from clay, he was meant to be a monk.
But somewhere in his stillness, I saw myself.

小和尚,一身素衣,眉头未展。
半世苦修求解脱,半世迷途是人间。
今日他仍盘坐于泥中,像极了我们。
修行,不为远离红尘,只为在红尘中不迷失。
