Distance
How far are the meditation cushions from the word Buddha
On the screen wall that stands in the mountain gate?
No one measures;
Day in and day out, monks come in and out and go in and out.
The threshold sees the inconsequential changes of stars’ positions,
But people change it more and change with it more.
How farther is the heart in your body
When I am obsessed with this poem while you
Turn your face to the outside noise?
This poem is for you if you can find yourself in here.

距离
打坐的垫子与山门前影壁上的佛字
有多远的距离？
没人测量过，
日出日落，和尚们来往进出，
寺庙的门槛将星斗细微的移转看在眼里，
更大的磨损来自人的脚步，
而那些脚的变化大于星移斗转。
当我沉浸在这首诗里，
你原地转身，面向外面的声音，
你的心远离了多少？
如果你在这首诗中找到自己，
这首诗就是为你而作。
