Climbing up towards Mount of Buddhist Glory     Hsu ChiCheng

I am walking step by step towards the Mount
Towards the mount, ranges of mount with steep ridges

On a height, Buddha is smiling satisfied
The wooden block voicing ding-dong by Buddha
--I can hear its voice clearly on the half of the mount

To the voice of the wooden block, I am walking step by step
While turning more broad-minded and kindhearted

To the voice of the wooden block, I am climbing up towards Buddha…
To the voice of the wooden block, my mind is becoming pure and pure…
Note: This poem was written on Mar. 21, 1965, after I visited Yuantong Temple with Mr. Wu Zhuoliu.

中文原詩如后:

     朝佛行    許其正

迎著山，我一步一步地移動著腳步

迎著山，迎著生長著層層障礙的山呀山山山……

佛在高處亮著「皆大歡喜」的笑的光芒

超度的木魚叮噹在佛的身邊

——雖然在半山間我仍清清楚楚地感知著

我一步一步地移動著腳步，應和著木魚的叮噹

我越來心胸越遼闊越慈悲，眼界越遠大越深廣

應和著木魚的叮噹，我一步一步地向前向上向高向佛……

應和著木魚的叮噹，我一步一步地遠塵而純淨……

註：1965年3月21日與吳濁流先生往遊圓通寺，遂得此詩。
