Cold Mountain - Hanshan 寒山 -~ 𝐏𝐨𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 ~ Zen Buddhism

A selection of poems from Cold Mountain - Hanshan - taken from "The Collected Songs of Cold Mountain", Bill Porter (Red Pine), trans.  The poet Hanshan, a name meaning “Cold Mountain,” ranks as one of the most eccentric and mysterious figures of Chinese literature. He is said to have lived during the Tang Dynasty (618-907), dwelling in a cave or hut in Tiantai Mountain near modern-day Taizhou, Zhejiang. In Chinese and Japanese art, he is often depicted as dirty and raggedy, smiling mischievously with his friend Shide . His poetry, written in a direct, colloquial style, was satirical and spiritual, touching on both Buddhist and Daoist themes
