Fan Jinghua: Catechism 教义问答

     Catechism
Do you love the faraway ones more dearly than you love God?
--Yes, because that is what God does not care to know.
Do you despise and contemn your selling yourself?
--Yes, because whatever in me is sold won’t be bought again.
Do you enshrine your own creation?
--No, because I want to grow old with it.
Are your spiritual lust and carnal love united in equilibrium?
--Oh, yes. I fold emptiness into an umbrella and pile up nothingness into a bed,
And my spiritual lust hides in the shade while my carnal love lies on the sheet.

   教义问答
         [To L]
你爱远方的人胜过爱上帝吗?
——是的,因为那是上帝并不在乎的。
你鄙视你自己的出卖行为吗?
——是的,因为一旦卖出就再不值得收买。
你供奉你自己的造物吗?
——不,因为我想与它一道变老。
你的精神之爱与肉体之欲统一吗?
——是的,我将空白折成一把伞,将虚无叠成一张床,
我的精神之欲躲在伞下,肉体之爱躺在床上。
