Gorgeous, sexy poetry from 18th century Vietnam. Translated from the "Chu Nom" Vietnamese modified Chinese characters. Amazing!
"A gentle spring evening arrives
airily, unclouded by worldly dust.
Three times the bell tolls echoes like a wave.
We see heaven upside-down in sad puddles.
Love's vast sea cannot be emptied.
And springs of grace flow easily everywhere.
Where is nirvana?
Nirvana is here, nine times out of ten."
