兜率内宫不肯住,杖挑布袋红尘去。
不知开口笑何人,待你下生人笑你。
阿呵呵,宽著肚皮等着他。
兜率内宫不肯住,杖挑布袋红尘去。
不知开口笑何人,待你下生人笑你。
阿呵呵,宽著肚皮等着他。
不愿住在兜率天的内院,
用禅杖挑着布袋走向红尘人间。
不知他张口大笑是在笑谁,
你等着他下生人间,别人却在笑你。
啊呵呵,
放宽肚皮,耐心等着他吧。
Unwilling to stay in the Tusita palace within,
He shoulders his cloth sack and descends to the dusty world.
Who knows at whom his open-mouthed laughter is aimed?
You wait for his next birth, while others laugh at you.
Ah, ho ho!
Just loosen your robe and wait for him with patience.
突破天宫秩序,体现对固有周期规则的超越。
刻画布袋和尚洒脱不羁、游戏人间的形象。
本诗为六言杂句(禅宗偈颂体),押平声韵。
