题破山寺后禅院

诗人- 常建

清晨入古寺
初日照高林
曲径通幽处
禅房花木深
山光悦鸟性
潭影空人心
万籁此俱寂
惟余锺磬音

A Buddhist Retreat Behind Broken-mountain Temple

In the pure morning, near the old temple,
Where early sunlight points the tree-tops,
My path has wound, through a sheltered hollow
Of boughs and flowers, to a Buddhist retreat.
Here birds are alive with mountain-light,
And the mind of man touches peace in a pool,
And a thousand sounds are quieted
By the breathing of a temple-bell.
