THE POEMS OF COLD MOUNTAIN: 245 by HAN SHAN

First Line: THE HOMELESS PEOPLE I KNOW
Last Line: THEY WANDER FOREVER CONTENT
Subject(s): BUDDHISM; CHINESE LITERATURE; CONTENTMENT; HOMELESS; BUDDHA; BUDDHISTS;

The homeless people I know
don't practice the homeless profession
you know when people are homeless
their minds are pure and detached
transparent without any secrets
free and naturally so
the Three Realms don't affect them
the Four Births don't restrict them
without any plans or cares
they wander forever content
