This is Seon(Zen) X Gak Seol(Wanderer)


“The Gak-seol(Beggar) song is a begging's song”... “The Gak-seol that came last year has not died and has come again.” If you are Korean, you have heard of a lot of Gak-seol's songs. However, you must have heard that Gak-seol song has this meaning without knowing in detail. Gak-seol's meaning is, Gak(覺) to be enlightened','Seol(說) is 'words',and 'e' is reason' (理)'. When this is interpreted, it means ‘a word that conveys reason of enlightenment.’ In a word, it means to inform the world's values ​​to the people who could not understand. It seems that the origin of this word is probably the Won-hyo Zen master of Korea(Silla). This is because, at one time, in order to preach the truth of the Buddha, Ambassador Won-hyo went into the public and edified by singing the Baptismal Scriptures, ripped off so that regeneration could easily be understood. The Gak-seol song begins with 'Eol-si-gu'. Here, the word ‘Eol(spirit)’ means to seek ‘the seed’. “Eol-si-gu, going in.” means that the seeds of Eol(spirit) go into the body. “Jeol(that spirit)-si-gu go in.” also means that the seeds of that ear also go into the body. “The Gak-seo that came last year did not die, but came again." means“the spirit that was enlightened in the previous life does not die and is reborn in this life.” These are the lyrics of the oral Jang Taryeong (Pum-ba/Gak-seoli Song). "I'm going in. / The Gak-seol, who came last year, came again without dying. Pum-ba is good. / Who is your teacher and is better than others. / He is good at whether he has read the cast script. / He is good at reading the essay Mencius. / He is good at whether he ate cold water or cold water. / It's good to see if you ate oil cans or not.''
