『心偈』3

柳宗悦『心偈』

「都イヅチ 問ヒノ サ中」

ミヤコイヅチ トヒノ サナカ

Where is the city?  in the middle of the question

 

Where is the city that your heart pursue?

It looks that the city is far away.

But what is the heart that you pursue the city from the first?

Given that you don't have the question, it is equal to there isn't the city.

Is there the city that you seek to in other side far from here?

Truly the city is in the very center of the question.

The man who don't ask it can't understand the secret.

There is Buddha in a voice "Oh Buddha."

No. A voice "Oh Buddha" isn't my voice yet.

A question and answer are two here and aren't two here.

Voices of people "Oh Buddha" is the voice of Buddha "Here is the Buddha."

The poem of Fudaishi who is the famous priest "If you would like to know the place Buddha went away, it is only the voice of this word."

 

こちらも久しぶりで、ギクシャクしてますが、

10月中に完結めざして、またまたエンジンかけ直して進みたいと思います。
