Lanterns Beneath Spring Blossoms

책 소개

Preface Between Radiance and Shadow A First Scene in Spring Light Where light lingers, I turn to the shadow behind it— the shadow of the mind.Entering Jingwansa Temple in spring, the courtyard was alive with color: pink cherry blossoms, white magnolias, yellow forsythia, and lanterns swaying gently in the breeze.Visitors chased beauty, cameras in hand, striving to capture moments that seemed to vanish.Yet behind the brilliance, shadows appeared— desire for a better shot, irritation at blocked views, the mind lost in appearances, forgetting essence.The Mind’s ShadowGreed, anger, and delusion— the Three Poisons— were present in my own heart.I paused to see lanterns reflected in a window. Which was real, the lantern or its reflection? Perhaps both, yet both also illusions. Recalling Humility Walking the path behind the temple, I noticed simple things: worn rubber shoes, a shy flower branch. I recalled hasim, humility: the mind lowering itself, shedding adornment.Can one return to that clarity— eyes seeing sincerely, without greed or anger? Perhaps not. Perhaps only the quiet longing remains. Autumn 2026 Hongsahn
