Su Shih

"A Monk of Auspicious Fortune Monastery
Asking Me to Name a Pavillion"

Fleeting glory or decay -- are wind and lightning;
How can they stay for long like the flowers in bloom?
The abbot meditates in the Hall of Perceiving-the-Illusion;
To perceive the sensory and then the Illusion -- the senses
and Illusion become one.
