題義公禪房 孟浩然

題義公禪房       孟浩然(689-740)

義公習禪寂，結宇依空林，  

戶外一峰秀，階前眾壑深。  
夕陽連雨足，空翠落庭陰，  
看取蓮花淨，方知不染心。  

Master Monk Yi’s Sanctum    MengHaoran(689-740)

Practising Buddhist meditation the master

Builds his sanctum next to the desolate serene timber,
A mountain with viridity stands solitarily to the fore,
Beyond its steps run deep and hyaline waters,
The setting sun flushes on the environs imbued with ample rain water,
Brumes and mizzles enshroud the place with a diaphanous aura,
Everything is as unblemished as the holy lotus,
Evinces how much the master’s heart is free from earthly cumbers.
