五言古詩 柳宗元 晨詣超師院讀禪經
汲井漱寒齒， 清心拂塵服，
閒持貝葉書， 步出東齋讀。
真源了無取， 忘跡世所逐；
遺言冀可冥， 繕性何由熟？
道人庭宇靜， 苔色連深竹；
日出霧露餘， 青松如膏沐。
澹然離言說， 悟悅心自足。

READING BUDDHIST CLASSICS WITH ZHAO
AT HIS TEMPLE IN THE EARLY MORNING
I clean my teeth in water drawn from a cold well;
And while I brush my clothes, I purify my mind;
Then, slowly turning pages in the Tree-Leaf Book,
I recite, along the path to the eastern shelter.
...The world has forgotten the true fountain of this teaching
And people enslave themselves to miracles and fables.
Under the given words I want the essential meaning,
I look for the simplest way to sow and reap my nature.
Here in the quiet of the priest's templecourtyard,
Mosses add their climbing colour to the thick bamboo;
And now comes the sun, out of mist and fog,
And pines that seem to be new-bathed;
And everything is gone from me, speech goes, and reading,
Leaving the single unison.
