The Fireplace Records, Chapter 50
What is the Meaning of Mu?
"What is the meaning of Mu?"
Asked the perplexed monk.
Master Duksan slapped the monk on the back!
"Stop asking vague questions.
Go write a poem about a pond."
Wake Up! Live Right!
Make your philosophy
Insightful poetry.
Speak beautifully,
Think creatively.
---Master Duksan,
a pond, or the pond---?"
He dared to think.
Imagined or real?
He did not speak.
