보살 The Bodhisattva
번뇌에 이지러진 나를 구제할 방도는 과연 없는가?
죽어서 가야할 지옥문 앞의 지장보살도,
지금 내 곁에 자비의 관음보살도,
언제나 함께 하시건만
나는 왜 무지에 눈 가려 탐욕과 성냄을 벗하는가?
Is there really no way to save me, no way for my anguish to wane?
Not Jijang Bodhisattva, who resides even in the depths of hell,
the destination we all face after death?
Not Gwaneum Bodhisattva, who stands by my side
as the very embodiment of compassion?
Even though they are forever with me,
why are my eyes still veiled in ignorance,
why am I so intimate with desire and anger?
