1195. My True Home Is Cold Mountain - Han Shan


The Tientai Mountains are my home

mist-shrouded cloud paths keep guests away 

thousand-meter cliffs make hiding easy

above a rocky ledge among ten thousand streams

with bark hat and wooden clogs I walk along the banks

with hemp robe and pigweed staff I circumambulate the peaks

once you see through transience and illusion

the joys of roaming free are wonderful indeed
