Seeking: The full text of Cang Yang Jia CuO's "That Me"

That kind of life

Cang yang Jia CuO Qing

On that day, I closed my eyes in the fragrant fog in the temple.

That January, I suddenly heard the truth in your hymn.

I shake all the prayer wheels, not to cross over.

Just to touch your fingertips, that year

I kowtowed to climb the mountain, not for the audience.

Just to stick to your warmth, that kind of life.

I turned mountains and rivers into stupas, not to repair the afterlife.

Just to meet you on the road, that night.

I listened to Sanskrit singing all night, not for enlightenment.

Just to find your breath, that January

I turned all the warp tubes, not to cross.

Just to touch your fingerprints, that year

I kowtow and hug the dust, not for the Buddha.

Just to stick to your warmth, that kind of life.

I searched 100 thousand mountains, not to repair the afterlife.

Just to meet you on the road, that moment.

I am immortal, not for immortality.

Just to make you happy and safe.
