41 Suan Mokkh

Suan Mokkh

Buddhadasa Bhikkhu

Mokkh” in worldly language means freed or spotless,
that is, every kind of form, flavor, odor, and sound,
along with impressions of skin, body, and mind,
don’t harm, don’t disturb, and don’t inflame.

Nature within Suan Mokkh uplifts the heart
until “Ego” big and small don’t re-conceive.
Mind is cool and bright as if somebody else;
such happiness can’t be compared to anything.

Mind is void so that it hears the rocks speak,
calling out that “nothing is worth losing your head over.
Why not stop for a while like us!
If you can’t, then it’s just your own hell.”

Note: Who ever sits down in Suan Mokkh
still upset, distracted, or depressed:
Hurry to a therapist to help calm you down,
then, come back to meet with the “Mokkh.
