Where you become true is the place of truth by teacher will myung this poem is called for world of divine beings deep in the mountains densely studded with pine trees there is a lake the long straight reddish pines are very appealing they pierce the sky as if to boast of their height they would have needed a lot of time to grow so.

Tall hundreds of years old they give off a lovely scent above the lake high up amidst the rocks a waterfall bursts forth and pounds its way down while an unidentifiable bird flies round and round high in the sky gentle storks are sitting on top of the pine trees here.

They’re wiling away the day white clouds that dot through the clear sky make the scene even more picturesque in the water which is so blue it is almost black unidentifiable fish are swimming to and fro and once in a while this place is visited by people who want to be companions of a worry-free nature I follow the steep mountain path.

After a long while I come across an old uninhabited house that looks like it is over a hundred years old I walked down the mountain thinking about who had lived there and I see deer leisurely eating the grass the mountain birds chirp incessantly and the sounds of the water is clamorous.

The water is crystal clear after walking down for a long time I come across a place where many people live it is like stumbling into the saha world from the world of divine beings the world inside my mind is the saha world and the world I am born into after becoming one with the world is the world of divine beings.
