On Mt. Langya, Looking For the Two Buddhist Monks Shen and Biao

 

怀 琅 琊 深 标 二 释 子
白 云 埋 大 壑
阴 崖 滴 夜 泉。                                                                                                    应 居 西 石 室
月 照 山 苍 然。
Huai Lang Ya Shen Biao Er Shi Zi

Bai yun mai da he
Yin ya di ye quan.                                                                                                                      Ying ju xi shi shi
Yue zhao shan cang ran.

 

On Mt. Langya, Looking For the Two Buddhist Monks Shen and Biao

White clouds envelop the large valley
Evening shadows, cliffs drip springhead water.                                                      Maybe everyone should live in stone rooms facing the west
Moon rises to illuminate these heavenly mountains.

 

Notes:

Mt. Langya: Located in Hebei Province.
