Attention

Heavenly Child exclaims:

Ah! What a beautiful me,

When I pay full attention to myself—

Here, now, wholly alive.

This is my home.

Not a place of walls or maps,

But the sacred stillness within,

Where breath flows like rivers

And thoughts dissolve into light.

Master Yi Xing once told me:

“Your home is not far.

It is where you meet yourself

With gentle awareness,

Where you belong to the present,

And the present belongs to you.”

Ah, to dwell in this home!

No wandering, no longing—

Only the fullness of being,

The wonder of me,

A universe unfolding,

Moment by moment.

《专注》

天来小子欢呼道：

啊！当我全然专注于此时此刻的自己时，

多么美好的我啊！

这就是我的家。

不是有形的墙壁或地图上的地方，

而是内心的神圣静土，

在那里，呼吸如河流般流淌，

思绪化作光芒消散。

一行大师曾告诉我：

“你的家从不遥远。

它就在你遇见自己的地方，

以温柔的觉知，

当你属于当下，

当下也属于你。”

啊，住在这样的家中，

没有流浪，没有渴望，

只有存在的圆满，

只有那令人惊叹的“我”。

一个刹那刹那展开的宇宙。
