The Reflection of Reflection

In Buddha Land, Turners Station, Kentucky
(1)
The trees and flowers on the other side of the pond seem to be looking at me
What caught my eye was not rigid material objects
Everything is so clear and translucent
The pleasant aroma of tranquility spreading in the air
Make me drown in joy, dare not move
However
The message from the other side of the pond
Is clearly teasing my unquestionable sense of existence!
(2)
Anyway
I know
I am sure
This moment
It’s me
Yes
It's me watching the trees and flowers on the opposite side
That's right
I'm enjoying their unique features that want to please the heaven and earth
I can’t ask for more,
I appreciate it to the fullest.
(3)
I'm looking at the surface of the pond, full of goodwill
For everything that appears and happens around me
As if in an attempt to lead me to absorption in meditation
I firmly believe in going out of the tunnel of worldly time and space.
(4)
The perceiver and the perceived are interacting
Mind and appearance are negotiating
While venturing to reverse the course of my interaction
With this egocentric world
Unexpectedly
It turns out the relationship between all others and I
To be like a couple who fell in love at first sight
Veiled by the illusive entanglement
We are in love and see no difference between heaven and earth,
Indistinguishable day and night!
(5)
Upon seeing this scene
The reflection in the pond couldn't help say:
"Please don't use your indifference to me to
Prove your ruthlessness and ignorance,
Can you really be sure of
My non-being and futileness? "
(6)
Reflecting on this sensible and sharp challenge
We who have fallen in love are speechless
Indeed
Are all reflections necessarily "non-existent and futile"?
(7)
Reflection’s inquisition
Like a thunderbolt
Instantaneously
Smashes me in roaming meditation
Debris scatters on the water
Drifting to trees and flowers
Deeply touched,I forget my fatigue and feel relieved!
(8)
O, Buddha of Compassion and Wisdom!
I beg you to help me confirm
Is this a beam of wisdom escaped from my Buddha-nature?
(9)
Coolness and conviction quietly fill my empty and greedy appetite
In a trance
I can almost see
Trees and flowers across the pond
In fact
It's their reflection!
(10)
O, my merciful enlightened teacher!
Please tell me
Am I my reflection?
Is my reflection me?
(11)
I pray to the Buddha to bless me!
The Masters Tsongkhapa’s mercifully guides me!
The noble mother Tara always protects me!
