送僧归日本-Seeing a Japanese Bonze Off to His Homeland
送僧归日本
钱起
上国随缘住，来途若梦行。
浮天沧海远，去世法舟轻。
水月通禅寂，鱼龙听梵声。
惟怜一灯影，万里眼中明。
Seeing a Japanese Bonze Off to His Homeland
Qian Qi
It fell on your lot to come in this land to stay.
You seemed in dream when you sailed along the sea-way.
Surging to the skies， the same waters of the vast
See you now with Buddhist teachings sailing home fast.
About Buddhism the moon and water seem quite clear；
And fish and dragons the chanted Sutra will hear.
It is our very wish that this single lamp-light
May thousands of li away in man’s eyes shine bright.
