The Ancient Underwater River Of Xiang-Shui Temple

Rating: 5.0


The Buddha of Xiang-shui Temple
Sits steadily on a hidden river
Blessing all living beings
Throughout the ages
Keeping a secret
The sanskrit voice beside Yaoqin Cave
Is gushing water.
Clear water reflects the sky
Washes and moistens to infinity
It flows by the pool
To meet Laozi's insights
Swimming fish is free by this idea
Turtles are reborn for the idea of kindness
Draw a pair of lots
Best wishes for your future friendship with Shang-shan

A beautiful poem on Buddha and His kindness. The legend of the underwater river fascinates me. A similar legend exists in India about River Saraswati. Please read the mystery unravelled in the book lathe Lost Riverl by Michel Danino
