October 1231, I Pass by Growth of Humanity Temple: Borrowing a Poem Written on a Wall


A stand of bamboo unifies a garden--
a salutary breeze drifts below a fence.
In the season of golden leaves, I regret the day's brevity--
this night of silence--I want to last.

Sun showers surround the Abbot's quarters--
humid air entices the land.
Five days I've stayed, resting my staff and shoes--
such delight when the world's grace endures.
