Spring-fed stream on Tiantaishan
Clear Spring Water

Hanshan (Tang)
Spring-water in the green creek is clear
Moonlight on Cold Mountain is white
Silent knowledge
the spirit of enlightenment itself
Contemplate the void
this world exceeds stillness.

Hánshān (Táng)
Bì jiàn quánshuǐ qīng,
Hánshān yuè huā bái.
Mò zhī shén zìmíng,
Guān kōng jìng yúyuè.
