Rugged pagodas stand through a thousand autumns of rain, and the brilliant scriptures are carved into ten thousand stones of Zen. The world knows of the calamities to this day, yet enlightenment and I seem to have no fate. I think back to the days when the true monk was here, and the sound of the great bell proclaimed through the valleys.'
