The Seat the Monk Left Behind

책 소개

Preface What Remains After Emptiness Early spring, I walked toward Samhwasa, leaving behind chanting drifting from Jingwansa.The mountain path grew quiet, voices faded, birdsong filled the air.The rarely traveled path was half- buried in leaves. Soon, a small temple appeared— no one was there. A Place After Departure The Dharma hall doors were tightly shut. Leaves, moss, rust, empty bowls— all testified to a life once present.Without human voices, nature’s sounds became clear: wind brushing eaves, birds walking roofs, dry leaves rolling through the courtyard.Long shadows stretched across walls. Perhaps the departed monk remained, like a shadow in the quiet space.A pale green sprout pushed through soil. Even without care, spring arrives. Emptiness is not ending, but a silent preparation for what comes next. The Paradox of Emptiness When one leaves, nature returns. The chanting vanished, yet wind and birdsong filled the space. The person is gone, but the place remains. Silence quietly prepares for what comes next.
