Introduction

National Master of True Enlightenment (眞覺國師) Hyesim (慧諶, 1178-1234), whose pen name is Muŭija (無衣子 [the unclothed]), was a Buddhist Sŏn monk during the Koryŏ dynasty (918-1392). He is known as the propagator of Sŏn (Ch'an in Chinese, Zen in Japanese) and the key word (話頭) emptiness (無) in Korea. Previously a Confucian scholar, he became Chinul's (知訥 1158-1210) [1] disciple and successor. His Sŏn philosophy is characterized by the syncretic approach of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. The Muŭija sijip (無衣子詩集, Collection of Poetry by Muŭija) is renowned for its pioneering work of syncretism between literature and Sŏn philosophy.

Original Script

Classical Chinese English

茶泉[2]


松根去古蘚 石眼迸靈泉

快便不易得 親提趙老禪[3]


淸潭[4]


寒於未釋氷 莹若新磨鏡

只將一味[5]淸 善應千差影

Spring Water for Tea


The moss-grown pine roots are barely traced

The eye on the rock spurts auspicious water

It is still not easy to grasp cool comfort

Voluntarily I take Master Zhàozhōu's Sŏn.


Clean Water


It is colder than unmelted ice

Brighter than a glossily clean mirror

One taste of emptiness, the constance

That reflects myriad forms and colors

  • Discussion Questions:

1. What are the elements of Taoism and Confucianism in the poems?

2. What is the relationship between awakening and drinking tea?

3. How does Hyesim realize the realm of Sŏn by means of the clean water?
