Travel to the Jing Kong Buddhist Temple
游 景 空 寺 蘭 若
龍 象 經 行 處
山 腰 度 石 關。
屨 迷 青 嶂 合
时 爱 綠 蘿 闲。
宴 息 花 林 下
高 談 竹 嶼 间。
寥 寥 隔 塵 事
疑 是 入 鷄 山。
You Jing Kong Si Lan Re
Long xiang jing xing chu
Shan yao du shi guan.
Ju mi qing zhang he
Shi ai lu luo xian.
Yan xi hua lin xia
Gao tan zhu yu jian.
Liao liao ge chen shi
Yi shi ru ji shan.
Travel to the Jing Kong Buddhist Temple
I seek the path, and to practice the powerful Long Xiang scriptures
In the mountains, a very demanding pass of large rocks.
Time and again lost in the green, screen-like mountain peaks
Now and then fascinated by green vines growing without being bothered.
Finally can relax, flowers and forest below
Within the bamboo, we talk to one another of advancement.
So empty, very few can separate from the dust and troubles of worldly affairs
Unbelievable, I have entered this mountain, a Buddhist pilgrimage site.
Notes:
Long Xiang scriptures: Refers to the Dharma Jewel Sutra and the Sixth Patriarch, Huineng, of the Chan (Zen) sect of Buddhism.
