Poem
Believer (1993)
On the day
While closing my eyes in the mist of the sacred temple
I suddenly heard
The true world of your prayer
In that month
I turned around all the prayer wheels
Not for the purpose of purification
But for caressing your finger tips
In that year
I knocked my head for a long time on the mountain path
Not for the purpose of pilgrimage
But for pressing near the warmth of your body
During that life
I turned around mountains, rivers, and Buddhist towers
Not for seeking after a better future life
But for meeting you on the way[1]

- 那一天
- 闭目在经殿香雾中
- 蓦然听见
- 你颂经中的真言
- 那一月
- 我拨动所有的转经筒
- 不为超度
- 只为触摸你的指尖
- 那一年
- 磕长头匍匐在山路
- 不为觐见
- 只为贴着你的温暖
- 那一世
- 转山转水转佛塔啊
- 不为修来生
- 只为途中与你相见[1]
