Written With the Venerable Gong at His Buddhist Temple Room

 

题 融 公 阑 若
精 舍 买 金 开
流 泉 绕 砌 回。
文 荷 薰 讲 席
松 柏 映 香 台。
法 雨 晴 霏 去
天 花 晝 下 来。
谈 玄 殊 未 已
归 骑 夕 阳 催。
Ti Rong Gong Lan Ruo

Jing she mai jin kai
Liu quan rao qi hui.
Wen he xun jiang xi
Song bai ying xiang tai.

Fa yu qing fei qu
Tian hua zhou xia lai.
Tan xuan shu wei yi
Gui qi xi yang cui.

 

 

Written With the Venerable Gong, at His Buddhist Temple Room

Exquisite shrine with a statue gilded with gold
Springhead flows made to turn and swirl around placed stones.
On mats, pleasantly discuss many Buddhist sutras
Pine and cypresses reflect the fragrant terrace.

Special lessons patterned after falling rain, with sunshine evaporates into the sky
Heavenly flowers become ripe during the day.
Not yet finished talking about the deep and hidden mysteries
But the setting sun hastens my horse and I to return home.
