Quote Excerpt 引述

Description:

5月25日遺偈 ─ 天心月圓

演音弘一 ( 1880~1942 )

君子之交，其淡如水；執象而求，咫尺千里。

問余何適？廓爾忘言；華枝春滿，天心月圓。

──選自《弘一大師全集》

May 25The Heart of Heaven, That Full Moon

Yanyin Hongyi (1880 - 1942)

English translation: Miao Guang

Acquaintances between superior men

are as bland as water.

Any pursuit with a mind attached to appearances

may seem within reach,

yet a thousand miles away.

When asked of me, “What place shall suit you?”

I remain speechless in the face of a boundless future──

On the flower branches, full of spring air,

In the heart of heaven, that full moon.

── from Hongyi Dashi Quanji (Complete Works of Master Hongyi)
