  • A selection of poems from Hanshan - formatted for meditation. Translated by A. S. Kline.
    The poet Hanshan 寒山, a name meaning “Cold Mountain,” ranks as one of the most eccentric and mysterious figures of Chinese literature. He is said to have lived during the Tang Dynasty (618-907), dwelling in a cave or hut in Tiantai Mountain near modern-day Taizhou, Zhejiang. In Chinese and Japanese art, he is often depicted as dirty and raggedy, smiling mischievously with his friend Shide 拾得. His poetry, written in a direct, colloquial style, was satirical and spiritual, touching on both Buddhist and Daoist themes. Hanshan also wrote poems about his own life, but his real identity is completely unknown. His name, in fact, is a pseudonym that refers to a place in Tiantai Mountain. In the Chinese Buddhist tradition, Hanshan and his sidekick Shide are honored as emanations of the bodhisattvas Mañjuśrī and Samantabhadra, respectively. Little is known of his work, since he was a recluse living in a remote region and his poems were written on rocks in the mountains he called home.

    Truly beautiful. It could have been written a year ago, or a hundred. We see it could be around 1400 years ago. Timeless.

    Chattering finch and water-fly
    Are not merrier than I;
    Here among the flowers I lie
    Laughing everlastingly.
    No: I may not tell the best;
    Surely, friends, I might have guessed
    Death was but the good King's jest,
    It was hid so carefully.
    G.K. Chesterton

    I am in love with your voice for meditation. My mind doesn't feel the same unless it you. I felt so relaxed that had a breakdown after meditation session. But since I have just started and really want to be in a regular schedule of meditating, I would like to ask if there is any 20 min guided meditation!
    I am so grateful to God that I found you mam. Thankyou so much for your efforts ❤️🙏

    "In bad weather you won't make this climb," as well as, I'm sure, every line or other line seems to be written with plural or parallel meaning. One that comes out in that particular line is "clouded with earthly attachments and unbridled aggressions, appetites and animosities, you cannot a ascend to higher consciousness." It would be very enriching to have a bilingual scholar of both classical Chinese and poetry in particular to elucidate two other layers of meaning hidden for us by a mere translation: 1. verbal or (unique to Chinese) visual play and polysemy within the original lines that may feature complications, exceptions, caveats or ramifications to the overt meaning of the lines (mind you, even overt meaning can be hard to translate due to a term having two or more equally competing denotations in the original); 2. cultural/historical reverberations of key references in the poem that will add further understading of the poet's context and hence potential targets of communication.
