萤火之光映佛窟，丝路踏沙寻圣踪。

Fireflies' glimmer illuminate the Buddhist's grottoes, Treading desert sands on the Silk Road, seeking sacred traces.

千年一瞬间

A thousand years in an instant

一衲辞烟市，千峰锁世喧

” Clad in a robe, I leave the misty town; A thousand peaks lock away the world’s clamor.

放下屠刀，立地成佛

Repent, and redemption is at hand.

黄沙弥望际， 孤影步苍茫。 一伞撑天地， 法雨润枯荒。

Boundless yellow sand stretches afar, A lone shadow treads the vast wilderness. One parasol shelters all realms with compassion， Dharma rain nourishes the withered wasteland.

赤阳烙袈裟, 钉影于苍茫

Crimson sun brands the kasaya, Pinning its shadow upon the boundless wild.

僧袍静立古垣旁， 觉知刹那行无常。

A monk's robe stands still by the ancient walls, Awakened to impermanence in every fleeting moment.

千江踏月同归处，万里披霜共此心。

Embodies spiritual reunion beyond challenging physical journeys, one through the journey to the west, one through ascetic practice. Both moving towards the goal of inheriting the Buddha's teaching. Though separated by time and space , kindred spirits remain united in purpose and heart.

南林合掌莲千叶，吹尽黄沙始见尘。

An elder from the verdant forests of the Theravada tradition reverently putting his palms together towards the remnant of a small Buddhist shrine. His gesture, like a thousand-petaled lotus, radiates sacred purity— transcending time, space, and the barren silence of the place. Only after millennia of scouring winds have swept away the yellow sands does the temple emerge from beneath the dunes. Its ruins are now laid bare.

圣塔千年护法流， 法裳澄色安深林。

The sacred pagoda guards the Dharma's flow for millennia, The saffron robes calms the deep woods.

远绍如来 近光遗法

Uphold the ancient wisdom of the Tathāgata. Radiate the Dharma's light today.
