Yuan Hongri Three Poems & Heaven
By Chinese Poet Yuan Hongri Translated by Yuanbing Zhang There's a Much Larger World in the Body There's a much larger world in the body this is the secret that the ancient sages have told you. Listening to the light pass through your body and play Guqin in your bones noticed an old man, who was 30000 years old, sitting in a palace on the mountains top. There is an island in the depths of the ocean, the goddess was so brilliant before the world had been born. Her eyes will make you forget the sadness, for an instant, take you through those free and unfettered days outside. The World is Just a Lie The world is just a lie, truth is on the other side of the world. We can neither see the light of time nor know that everything is a shadow on the running water. There is another me on another planet, you have never been born or died. When the maze becomes transparent, the door of time-space opens, you will shake hands and smile with the giant in the heavens. The words are both music and the epic of the soul, Telling you that the palaces of outer space are incomparably lofty, as if they are as endless as the mountains of gold. The Hymn of Sweet Soul Drape the night over my shoulders like a cloak of the world, call the birds of the stars from outer space and fly near my city garden. Sing a song of the giants from huge city of platinum, awoke the drowsy city of the world with a start. Oh, the lightnings are in full bloom in the vault of heaven- the hymns of sweet soul. Your bones became transparent suddenly, its light was flickering all over the body like the wings, in a flash, the body became huge, higher than the large building down the street. 06.12.2020 Heaven of Diamond Even if you are in the volleys of gunfire you can also see the Buddha. Because emptiness is everywhere, and the Buddha's smile blossomon in your face. When the emptiness in your body wake up for a moment, the death will go up in smoke, the word will swing like a leaf. Your body will become huge like mountains of gold, transparent and sweet like heaven of diamond 05.18.2020 My Heaven is Inside My Body My heaven is inside my body, my heaven is a great many, like stars in the night sky, with silver towers, huge edifices that look like apphires , golden palaces, gardens of crystal. My body is bigger than the universe, countless gods and angels are my partners, as if they are countless myself. Neither time nor life and death in my words dawn and dusk are the same name, and sadness and joy are the same words. 11.08.2020 Bio:Yuan Hongri (born 1962) is a renowned Chinese mystic, poet, and philosopher.
