俗腊知多少,庞眉拥毳袍。
看经嫌字小,问事爱声高。
暴日终无厌,登阶渐觉劳。
自言曾少壮,游岳两三遭。
俗腊知多少,庞眉拥毳袍。
看经嫌字小,问事爱声高。
暴日终无厌,登阶渐觉劳。
自言曾少壮,游岳两三遭。
(我)想知道(他)经历了多少尘世的岁月?
(他)长眉浓密,身披一件鸟羽织成的僧袍。
阅读佛经时,总嫌上面的字迹太小。
向人询问事情时,却喜欢高声说话。
曝晒于烈日之下,始终不觉得厌倦。
登爬台阶时,才渐渐感到有些疲劳。
(他)自己说曾经在年轻力壮的时候,
游历过名山(如嵩山、华山等)两三次。
How many worldly years have passed, I wonder?
With bushy brows, he's wrapped in a cassock of down.
He finds the sutra's characters too small to read.
And loves to raise his voice when asking things around.
He never tires of basking in the blazing sun.
But climbing steps, he gradually feels weary grown.
He says of himself that in his youthful prime,
He roamed the sacred peaks, two or three times alone.
在时间周期中保持内在的澄明与认同。
