In the morning, bowing to all;
In the evening, bowing to all.
Respecting others is my only duty--
Hail to the Never-despising Bodhisattva.
...
Deep in the valley, a beauty hides:
Serene, peerless, incomparably sweet.
In the still shade of the bamboo thicket
...
When I was a lad,
I sauntered about town as a gay blade,
Sporting a cloak of the softest down,
...
Wild roses,
Plucked from fields
Full of croaking frogs:
Float them in your wine
...
First blooming in the Western Paradise,
The lotus has delighted us for ages.
Its white petals are covered with dew,
...
In a dilapidated three-room hut
I’ve grown old and tired;
This winter cold is the
Worst I’ve ever suffered through.
...
How can I possibly sleep
This moonlit evening?
Come, my friends,
Let’s sing and dance
...
Though frost come down,
Night after night
What does it matter?
They melt in the morning sun.
...
My house is buried in the deepest recess of the forest
Every year, ivy vines grow longer than the year before.
...
