the Moon



The full moon.

It's such a joy and heart-warming to view it,
with your beloved one beside you;
with your family around you whenever there's a reunion.

However, it brings 'longingness' and sorrow,
if you've broken up with your beloved one,
or when someone in your family is no longer around.

"Seek no intimacy with the beloved
and also not with the unloved,
for not to see the beloved
and to see the unloved,
both are painful.

Therefore, hold nothing dear,
for separation from the dear is painful.
There are no bonds for those who have nothing
beloved or unloved."
