Clown&Buddha
Once I wanted to be like Buddha:
I closed my eyes
And sat with legs crossed,
But nothing happened.
Than I made very log trip to bodhi tree
And sat very long below that special tree,
But that either didn’t make me enlightened.
I really wished to belong to that rank of rare ones - truth realized beings -
So I didn’t give up.
Reading, thinking, trying,
All that spiritual - new and old age staff.
Adding and subtracting, multiplying and dividing,
With final result equal to zero.
Exhausted, at the end of the day
I went to the river
And on the river bank
I saw clown
And realized:
The TRUTH!
Buda i klaun
Nekoć htjedoh i ja postat' poput Bude velikoga!
Sklapao sam oči i sjedio prekriženih nogu,
ali to se ipak dogodilo nije.
Onda sam krenuo na dugi put,
samo da bih sjeo pod čuveno bodhi drvo i
sjedio sam pod njim dosta dugo,
ali ni to me prosvjetljenim učinilo nije.
No kako stavrno želio sam pripast’ redu onih što spoznali su istinu,
to nikako odustajao nisam.
Proučih i isprobah svu duhovnu hranu
Novog i starog doba;
Zbrajah i oduzimah,
množih i djelih,
no konačni rezultat opet bješe jednak nuli.
Iscrpljen na kraju dana
krenuh do rijeke i
na obali rijeke vidjeh klauna i shvatih:
ISTINU!
