Chuang Tzu’s Butterfly Poem by Raj Arumugam

Chuang Tzu’s Butterfly

Rating: 5.0


Chuang Tzu has a dream
and when awake
he asks himself if, perhaps, this is the dream


is it Chuang Tzu who dreams of the butterfly
or is it the butterfly dreaming of Chuang Tzu?



not a poetic fancy
but probing into all our assumptions
and formations, and mind

Probing into the consciousness of oneself... a dream is a state of mind, wishing to remake any scene if not favorable.
