Sitting Alone In The Woods
        Kukai 774-835

Sitting idly
        in a thatched shack
                alone in the woods
                        at dawn,
Tripitaka disciple
        like a single bird.
One bird has birdsong
        one man has mind,
Birdsong and mind
        clouds and water
                all complete in themselves.
 
Xián Lín Dú Zuò
Kōng Hǎi 774-835

Xián lín dú zuò cǎotáng xiǎo,
Sānbǎo zhì shēngwén yī niǎo.
Yī niǎo yǒu shēng rén yǒu xīn,
Shēng xīn yún shuǐ jù liǎoliǎo.
