莫笑龟堂老,残年所得多。
赋诗传海估,说法度天魔。
夭矫竹如意,鳞皴松养和。
拈来示诸子,无事数相过。
莫笑龟堂老,残年所得多。
赋诗传海估,说法度天魔。
夭矫竹如意,鳞皴松养和。
拈来示诸子,无事数相过。
莫要嘲笑龟堂老旧,
暮年之时我所得甚多。
赋写的诗篇由海商传布远方,
宣讲的佛法能度化天魔。
夭矫的竹如意自在轻盈,
鳞皴的松树涵养着平和。
拿来展示给诸位子弟,
闲来无事可常来相访叙说。
Don't laugh at Turtle Hall for being old,
In my remaining years, I've gained much more.
My poems spread overseas by merchants bold,
My teachings tame the demons' savage roar.
A supple bamboo scepter, free and light,
A gnarled pine, nourishing peace and might.
I pick them up to show my sons the way,
Drop by for nothing, visit any day.
暮年认同从外在功业转向内在精神世界的丰盈。
诗人于龟堂安度晚年,自得于闲适生活与精神收获。
本诗为五言律诗,押平声韵。
