Translated from Chinese by Henry Wei Leung.
empty sea empty    ·    this wave comes

that wave goes

thousand-year wave watching the wind

can’t see the last life    ·    can’t see the next lifetime

straddling water    ·    Guan-beholding-pitchblack-sound-yin

to have nothing but all life

go back to naught   ·    go forth for naught

no blossom overhead    ·    no root underfoot

the sky heeds not    ·    the earth asks not

may both be with you


空海空	此浪來

彼浪去

萬年浪望風

不見前生	不見來世

立水中央	觀漆黑之音

與萬物廝守

無所歸	無所去

頂上無花	腳下無根

天不聞	地不問

與天地同在
