Huanglong Ch’an Poem

aChanPoem-001

An isolated hut on a mountain-top that towers above a thousand-peaks,

In one half an old monk – the other half a cloud.

Last night a storm blew the cloud away,

The cloud did not equal the old monk’s silent manner.

黄龙禅宗诗

千峰顶上一间屋,

 老僧半间云半间。

昨夜云随风雨去;

到头不似老僧闲。
