游龙门奉先寺

已从招提游,更宿招提境。

阴壑生虚籁,月林散清影。

天阙象纬逼,云卧衣裳冷。

欲觉闻晨钟,令人发深省。

遊龍門奉先寺

已從招提遊,更宿招提境。

陰壑生虛籟,月林散清影。

天闕象緯逼,雲臥衣裳冷。

欲覺聞晨鐘,令人發深省。

Visiting Fengxian Temple at Longmen

I had already visited the templeand went on to stay over in the temple precincts.

Shadowy ravines produced piping from empty spaces, the moonlit forests scattered their clear shadows.

Constellations’ woof pressed close on Heaven’s towers,1lying in the clouds, my clothes were cold.

About to be awakened, I heard the dawn bell which brought out in me deep awareness.
