A one-thousand geun arrow

If you realize
your true face amid moving,
you will know
you never move even though everything moves.

Likewise,
lighting the lantern of wisdom,
no more will you be decieved by any change.

Now that I've hit the ignorance
with a one thousand kyun arrow,
the dark is not in the least different from the light.

*a geun: 600g
