Walking in the Utimate Space -- Poem by Thich Nhat Hanh

在终极空间里快乐地行走
用你的脚
而不是用你的头脑
如果你用头脑 你将会迷路了

在终极空间里讲法
落叶满天飞舞
秋季的月光铺满了小路
法充遍十方

在终极空间里讨论法
我们彼此注视着微笑
你是我 你看见了吗
说者与听者是一体


在历史空间里享受午餐
我使所有的祖先和所有的
子孙后代 都饱足了
我们相会在一起 找到了我们的路

在历史空间里被触恼
我们闭目深思
三百年后我们在何处
我们睁开眼睛拥抱了

在终极空间里休息
以雪山为枕
美丽的红云为毯
什么都不缺少

在终极空间里坐禅
分享多宝佛的狮子座
每一秒中都是实现
每一个果实都成熟而甜美

Peaceful Village

Today, I heard a very beautiful song which is from the album of new plum village songs. I wrote down the lyrics and share it with you : )

THERE IS HONEY IN YOUR EYES

There is honey in your eyes when you look without anger

and there is sunshine in your face when your mind is pure

Feather is in your hands when you touch without taking

and peddles are on your feet when you walk with joy

Music is in your voice when you speak with laughter

and one mind is in your seek when your heart is free

A lotus to you,
A buddha to be.

Walking Meditation

With each step a flower blooms.

With each step compassion grows.

With each step I find new peace.

With each step I touch miracles.

With each step I see wonders.

With each step I truly live.
