杖锡何来此,秋风已飒然。 雨荒深院菊,霜倒半池莲。 放逐宁违性,虚空不离禅。 相逢成夜宿,陇月向人圆。
Why did the khakkhara come here? The autumn wind is already rustling. The rain has desolated the chrysanthemums in the deep courtyard, and the frost has fallen on half of the lotus in the pond. Exile is better against nature, and emptiness is not away from Zen. We met and stayed overnight, and the moon in the valley was full towards us.
