For The Abbot's Meditation Hall Of Twin Bamboo Temple

Su Shi 1036-1101 You strike the dusk drum          ring the dawn Bell, Behind closed doors         sit alone on your hassack                 wrestle with demons. Polk cold grey ashes         bring to life a red flame, Then lie down          listen xiao-xiao                 to snow brushing the window.
