A Poem For Today - A ghost in the mirror is the mind

[kdick...@aol.com]

A ghost in the mirror is the mind

A ghost in the mirror is the mind:

Not there, yet not unreal.

When the mind is as it is,

          the world too simply is.

Grasping neither reality nor emptiness,

you are neither holy nor wise,

just an ordinary man done with his work.

By P'ang Yun (Layman P'ang)

(740? - 808)

English version by Ivan M. Granger
