Yi Kyu Bo.
The Buddhistic trend of thought which appears in the following is traceable to the fact that, although a Confucianist, Yi Kyo Bo had many Buddhist friends. He was at all times deeply interested in their teaching and sympathetic towards their philosophy.
Walking beside the river
I watch my shadow dance
From ripple to ripple in wild contortionings.
I think of So Tongpa by the Yungsoo Pool.
What did he see?
Only a windblown shadow?
Two hundred eyebrows and one hundred beards?
Or did he gaze until, beneath his shadow,
He found the wisdom I am always seeking?
