A Happy Excursion, A fish changes into a bird.

 

The Kun and the Peng in an empty abyss.

 

(1) 原文 The Original Text.

 

We permeate into the Zhuangzi.

北冥有魚其名爲鯤

In the north of an empty abyss there is a fish, called the Kun.

鯤之大不知其幾千里也

It is so huge I do not know how many thousand li in size.

化而爲鳥其名爲鵬

It changes into a bird, called the Peng.

鵬之背不知其幾千里也

Its back is I do not know how many thousand li across.

怒而飛其翼若垂天之雲

When it rises up and flies off, its wings obscure the sky like clouds.

是鳥也海運則將徙於南冥南冥者天池也

When the seasonal shift in the currents begins, it sets off for the southern empty abyss, which is the Celestial Lake.

齊諧者志怪者也

In the ancient texts of Marvels we read

諧之言曰鵬之徙於南冥也

that when the Peng flies to the the southern empty abyss,

水擊三千里

the waters are smitten for three thousand li around,

摶扶搖而上者九萬里

while it beats the whirlwind and mounts to a ninety thousand li,

去以六月息者也

setting off on six months’ flight of gale.

 

(2) 註. My Commentary.

 

One line a day, what I have read is like this.

Cultivating the body and mind, you see the Great Integrity.

The northern empty abyss is the ‘nature’, the source of the mind.

The southern empty abyss is the basis of the body ‘life’.

The Kun and the Peng are symbols of vitality.

It is the power of the living wind as the fundamental energy.

It moves 21,600 times a day.

Refine the vitality between body and mind.

Play freely while cultivating the body and mind.
