VISITING A CH’AN MASTER AMONG MOUNTAINS AND LAKES

Like Hüi-yuan fostering Ling-yün,
you open the gates of Ch’an for me:

here beneath rock and pine, serene,
it’s no different than Glacier Peak.

Blossoms pure, no dye of illusion,
mind and water both pure idleness,

I sit once and plumb whole kalpas,
see through heaven and earth empty.
