Quietly Admiring the Moon
(望舒净)
(Silently Gazing at the Moon Purifying the Soul)
In the quiet of the night gazing at the moon peace fills my heart
(静夜月明心轻安)
In the green valley the sounds of nature bring a serene start
(青谷听禅晚)
Mountain springs gently babble their melody sweet and clear
(山泉淙淙清韵长)
Shadows of bamboo caress the soul ushering dreams near
(竹影习习抚心宁梦乡)
Soft moonlight spills upon the ground
(清晖洒)
The night is deeply tranquil profound
(夜幽深)
Moonbeams dance on the springs whispering a lullaby
(月照山泉轻轻吟)
The clouds and the streams flow gently by
(行云流水心静幽)
Washing away worries bringing peace to the soul Cleansing the heart making it whole
(涤净尘嚣得安宁)
Casting aside earthly troubles and sorrow The soul's dust is cleared a tranquil tomorrow
(凡忧远去心尘净)
Entering the simple peaceful realm of Zen
(简宁禅境深)
Beyond the world where silent music ascends
(悠然物外听无声)
In this transcendent space beauty's end unfolds Calmly savoring life's troubles serenity holds
(神怡景尽安平品红尘)
Elegant moonlight blankets the land
(素晖漫天地)
Like soft silk soothing hearts with a gentle hand
(轻绫抚心脾)
The trickling clear springs lead me to Zensembrace
(涓泉携我去)
A single leaf reveals a world ever-changing full of grace
(一叶一菩提)
Elegant moonlight blankets the land
(素晖漫天地)
Like soft silk soothing hearts with a gentle hand
(轻绫抚心脾)
The trickling clear springs lead me to Zensembrace
(涓泉携我去)
A single leaf reveals a world ever-changing full of grace
(一叶一菩提)
