且問天 如此寬
why is the sky so broad?
是否 因為雲？
is it because of the cloud?
且問地 不能平
why is the ground not even?
是否 因為樹？
is it because of the trees?
且問心 難平靜
why is my heart not calm?
是否 因為意？
is it because of my desire?
雲降天雨
cloud descend with rain
穩基自地
but the earth firm
淨竹空心
pure bamboo has a hollow center
萬物皆是有所依
all things have their inter-dependence
且問佛法報應
what would the buddha say to me?
“ consequences follow natural laws.”
眾生相人間難得
among all living forms being human is the most precious
且問人乾坤來
pondering the people's coming into this world
妙法去緣聚果因
and going according to the great dharma all results depend on karmic interactions
且問緣分秒天地
pondering my karmic interactions every moment matters in this world
你我之間自在相依
among all of you and me we depend on each other to be well and calm
覺悟立願
i have awakened! i have resolved!
緣起不滅
i have unwavering aspirations for my karmic interactions
問緣
