想象的存在

我渴望真理，

但我打死都不會相信我所相信的真理。

這是它最美好的地方，

一種純潔的想象的存在。

     The Being of Imagination

I hunger for truth —

yet refuse, to my last breath, to clutch the truths I claim.

Therein lies its beauty:

truth as a clean, imagined being.

不糾纏

宇宙混沌天外天

微觀清明向內看

相對論劍茶當酒
量子江湖不糾纏

     —— 世間行走，舉重若輕。清明內觀，道不糾纏。

     Beyond Quantum Entanglement

Through cosmic chaos, multiverse unfolds,

In quantum clarity, inward gaze holds.

Relativity duels with tea as wine,

The quantum realm transcends entanglements' twine.

       —— Through worldly paths, lift mass with light grace;

In lucid observation, the Tao leaves no entanglement's trace.

漂流 - 2

人類已死，

城市猶在夢裡繁華。
Bardo中陰之海秋涼有風

岸上的百合花凋零殆盡。

皎潔的月光下，

小舟一葉獨自漂流。

       —— 人類已死，2021-2027當下bardo中陰之迷。

（*參閱《漂流 -1》）

      Drifting

Humans are dead,

Cities linger in dreams of prosperity.

An autumn chill blows through the sea of Bardo,

Lilies on the shore wither to nothing.

Under the pristine moonlight,

A lone boat drifts by itself.

      — Humans are dead, 2021-2027 the present Bardo

黑咖啡的放逐

圖：Lumicat

實相是無法稱之為光彩的浪漫，
誰勤快地抄寫真理來換取所謂悟道？

美麗的言語已經說得夠多了！

人類不再是一種高貴的精神織物，

請放逐那些虛幻的自我；

而純淨的明亮之心，

比如這一杯無需裝模作樣的黑咖啡。

      The Exile of Black Coffee

Reality is no radiant romance to be named;

Who keeps copying truth in hope of a false awakening?

Beautiful words have already been spoken too often.

Humanity is no longer a noble fabric of spirit—

cast away those illusory selves.

What remains is the heart, pure and luminous,

like this cup of black coffee,

needing no disguise.

對話

圖：Gemini AI

既然這是一個世界

猶如影子和影子之間的對話
試著沉默了解

虛幻所生，終歸於空

    Dialogue

Since this is a world,

it is like shadows speaking to shadows,

seeking to understand in silence.

Born of maya illusion,

all shall return to the sunyata emptiness.

影子與光

圖：Lumicat

無處不在在無處

我們都是影子

為了彰顯光的存在

不執著於不執著

我們都是光

都是黑暗的偶然清醒

       Shadow and Light

Everywhere, yet in no place.

We are all shadows

to make the presence of light manifest.

Unattached, even to non-attachment.

We are all light —

the darkness’s accidental waking.

就此別過

圖：Lumicat

沒有多想什麼
我和這個世界就此別過

直到眾星消失的禪定剎那

真理和它虛構的傳說

       —— 無處不在在無處，不執著於不執著

     And So, I Depart
I leave this world,
without a second thought.
Until the stars themselves fade
in a breath of stillness—
What remains is truth,
and the stories it once imagined.

      —— Everywhere, yet in no place.

Unattached, even to non-attachment.

之前之後

圖：之前之後  甲骨文“之前後”三字合一。止（䒑，趾）舟（⺼）為前（ 歬  ），幺夂為後。止上前為止，止下後為夂，止夂鏡像顛倒。

舟上足趾謂前行。幺繩絲束使足趾困於行而落後。  Satyavan He

想象虛擬了一片世界荒野

語言努力堆疊著信仰的積木城堡

你站在高處展讀經書並且沉思

落日所預言的黑夜究竟何時到來

之前已經消失無蹤

但之後的一切還未生成

當下是不得已稱為存在的空無

      Before and Beyond 

Imagination virtualized a wilderness of the world.

Language strives, stacking the block-castle of faith.

You stand on high, unfolding and reading the scriptures and pondering.

When, indeed, will the night foretold by the setting sun arrive?

What was before has already disappeared without a trace,

but everything that comes after has not yet been formed.

The present moment is, out of necessity, an emptiness called existence.

起點

圖：起 •    

大為人，胎兒屈身為巳（人之始），人必先起身而行始能走向往至（之龰）他欲到達之處。  Satyavan He

莫讓時間的幻相冷漠捆綁

以為生命的終點裡只有平凡逝去

如果行星依舊自旋

地平線預言了曙光的神秘浮現

死亡將是下一個偉大旅程的起點

     —— 奇異的起點，它在，但沒人知道它在哪裡？

      Beginning

Do not let the illusory appearances of time bind you in cold indifference.

Believing that within life's end there is only ordinary passing.

If the planets still keep spinning,

the horizon foretells the mysterious emergence of dawn—

death will be the starting point of the next great journey.

    —— A strange beginning: a singularity of sorts — it exists, yet no one knows where it lies.

簡單而已

圖：入秋，土想森林的池上暮色

誦念諸行無常

你發現各種常數
想象諸法無我

當下變得非常通透自然

享受著理性一閃而過的短暫快樂

唯獨生命是不輕易放下的煩惱悖論

但逆熵的宇宙之路終將消停

真理本來那樣沉默

祂只是簡單而已的寂靜涅槃

      Simply That

Chant the impermanence of all things.

You discover various constants.

Imagine the non-self of all dharmas.

The present moment becomes very transparent and natural.

Enjoying the brief pleasure of reason flashing by.

Only life is the stubborn paradox of afflictions not easily let go.

But the universe’s anti-entropy road will eventually come to rest.

Truth was, from the start, that silent.

It is merely a simple, silent nirvana.

葬禮

圖Lumicat

我們為從未存在的亡者舉行葬禮

在日頭即將西沉的寧静時刻

哀傷的餘光送走了又一天的疲憊勞苦

撫慰孤獨心靈的唯有永恆的黑夜

literal translation：

      Funeral

We hold a funeral for the dead who never existed,

in the tranquil moment when the sun is about to set.

A sorrowful afterglow sends off another day’s weary toil,

and only the eternal night soothes the lonely heart.

Free translation 1：

We bury the dead that never were,

in the hush when the sun leans westward.

Grief’s afterglow shepherds the day’s worn labors away;

only the endless night eases a solitary soul.

Free translation 2：

We hold a wake for what was never born—

at the quiet verge of the sun’s descent.

A mournful afterlight sees the day’s toil off,

and only the everlasting dark can comfort the lone heart.

山居連雨

落葉總會凋零
拾起的人卻寥寥無幾

       —— 秋分，山上早晚都涼，讀到這詩句，卻遍查出處無著。

樺加沙颱風掠過臺灣尾，池上超大豪雨下不停，今天2025.9.23單日483.5毫米，昨天118毫米，第三天277.5毫米，三天累計達到驚人的879.5毫米）

天涼已秋空寂寥

山居少憶人間事

葉落凋零禪坐時

連雨夜色黯悠處

      Mountain Rain in Autumn

Autumn cools the air; the sky stands lone and spare.

In my mountain house I scarcely mind the world's care.

Leaves fall and wither while I sit in quiet prayer;

Through steady rain the night lies dim — a lingering air.

         —— The mountain where I live has been raining for days

秋分

天亮時雨聲沉默了秋分

早晨的咖啡預告著它自己的失蹤

誰假裝若無其事地冥想時間

陷入了三摩地的酸苦遊戲

雖然來去無心，說不定

只有穿過紗窗的風是唯一的明白

       Equinox

At dawn,

the rain’s murmur silenced the Equinox.

The morning coffee foretells

its own vanishing.

Who pretends, untroubled,

to meditate on time—

only to sink into the sour play

of Samadhi.

Though comings and goings

leave no heart behind, perhaps—

the only clarity

is the wind

slipping through the screen window.

宇宙的哲學收據

圖：Lumicat

我向宇宙雜貨店買了一盒真理糖果，
祂筆跡隨性潦草地開給我一張哲學收據。

金額如下複雜難解：

知識的平方乘以靈魂開根號。

     The Philosophical Receipt of the Cosmos

I bought a box of candies called Truth

at the grocery store of the Universe.

With careless strokes, It handed me

a receipt—written in the ink of philosophy.

The total, obscure and undeciphered:

the square of knowledge

multiplied by the square root of soul.

免責聲明

圖：Lumicat

像生命一樣不合理

一花一世界

有沒有自由意志

你們自己決定

如氣象的本質混沌

隔壁的宇宙今天不在家
有沒有真理

我無法告訴你們

囈語般的免責聲明

說給不存在的我們聽

有沒有我

你們自己去尋找

      Disclaimer

Life just doesn’t make sense.

One flower — and there’s a whole world inside it.

Do we even have free will?

That one’s on you to decide.

Weather’s messy by nature,

and the universe next door isn’t home today.

Is there such a thing as truth?

Sorry — I can’t give you that answer.

This disclaimer sounds like sleep-talk,

meant for a “we” that might not even be real.

Is there really a “me”?

Go on — you’ll have to look for it yourself.

無人小徑

圖：Copilot AI

聽穿林風聲
行踏無人小徑

想昨日逝去

望見天際寒星

    A Path Where None Walk By

Through forest winds I hear them cry,

Along a path where none walk by.

I muse on days that will not stay,

And see cold stars at heaven’s gray.
