竺法暨華土，出傳骨與書。
金仙屹不動，坐使四海趨。
山川第一勝，盡為佛者居。
蔥蔥灊之谷，蛟鸞互盤紆。
一為飛錫先，方士回雲車。
顧盼榛楚地，翬簷湧層虛。
英靈護泉脈，飲此白足徒。
當年蓋國眾，莫挽碧眼胡。
傳衣到三葉，此地滋焦枯。
異氣生傑閣，宸奎動天樞。
神龍盡傾向，寶此明月珠。
三聖陟帝所，雲章久寧渝。
餘霑及婆塞，歲復六七夫。
堂中老沙門，古態幾皇胥。
定知黃龍窟，不著點額魚。
門開兩山峽，萃然七浮圖。
沙步對石麓，溪流清且徐。
危甍隱深樾，間見碧與朱。
朝來雨腳斷，雲氣尚卷舒。
懸知磴道滑，一水不復逾。
州家有造詣，上馬及未晡。
佛法從印度傳到中華大地，
傳播著佛骨與經書。
金身佛像巍然不動，
端坐著使四海之人歸趨。
山川間第一等的美景，
都成了佛門弟子的居所。
草木蔥蘢的灊山山谷，
蛟龍鸞鳳互相盤繞迂迴。
一位持錫杖飛行的僧人為先導，
令方士們調轉雲車而回。
回望這曾是榛莽叢生的地方，
彩繪的屋簷層層疊疊湧向虛空。
英靈守護著泉水的命脈，
讓這些赤腳僧徒在此飲水。
當年那眾多覆蓋全國的僧眾，
也沒能挽留住那位碧眼胡僧。
袈裟傳到第三代祖師時，
此地曾變得繁榮後又焦枯。
奇異之氣催生了傑出的樓閣，
御筆題字震動了天樞星。
神龍都傾心向往，
珍視這如明月般的寶珠。
三位聖賢升到了天帝的居所，
他們雲錦般的文章長久安寧不變。
恩澤還惠及在家居士，
每年又有六七人出家為僧。
佛堂中的老和尚，
古拙的儀態幾乎有上古帝王的風範。
定知在那黃龍居住的洞窟，
容不下額頭有斑點的凡魚。
寺門開在兩山峽谷之間，
七座佛塔赫然聚集聳立。
沙石步道對著石山山麓，
溪水清澈而且流淌徐緩。
高高的屋脊隱在深密的樹蔭裡，
間隙中可見碧瓦與朱欄。
清晨以來雨腳已斷，
雲氣還在舒捲飄浮。
料想那石階山路必然溼滑，
有一條溪流我將不再逾越。
州郡長官有意前來拜訪，
上馬出發要趕在日落之前。
Dharma came from India to this land of China,
Transmitting relics and scriptures across the sea.
The golden Buddha stands firm and unmoving,
Sitting, he makes all lands turn to him in piety.
The finest landscapes under heaven,
Are all occupied by the followers of Buddha.
Lush and deep is the valley of Qianshan,
Where dragon and phoenix spirits coil and hover.
The first to come with his flying staff led the way,
Making the immortals turn their cloud-chariots around.
Looking back at this once wild and brambly land,
Now tiered eaves rise into the empty sky, profound.
Noble spirits guard the spring's vital vein,
From which these white-footed monks drink their fill.
In those days, the multitudes that covered the land,
Could not detain the blue-eyed foreigner's will.
The robe passed down to the third patriarch,
Made this place flourish, then wither to drought.
An extraordinary aura gave birth to this splendid tower,
The imperial writing stirs the celestial pivot about.
Divine dragons all incline their gaze,
To treasure this bright moon pearl they prize.
The Three Sages ascended to the Emperor's abode,
Their cloud-like writings long preserved, never to demise.
The leftover grace extends to lay devotees,
Yearly, six or seven men take the vows anew.
The old monk in the hall, his ancient manner,
Almost bears the air of sovereigns of yore, true.
Surely, in the cave of the Yellow Dragon,
No fish with spotted forehead can find a place.
The gate opens between two mountain gorges,
Where seven pagodas rise with clustered grace.
The sandy shore faces the stone hill's base,
The stream flows clear and gentle in its pace.
High roof-ridges hide in deep green shade,
Glimpses of azure and vermilion are displayed.
This morning, the rain's footsteps have ceased,
Yet clouds still roll and stretch, not fully eased.
I foresee the stone path will be slippery and steep,
That one stream I shall not cross, my journey's leap.
The prefect has plans to visit this sacred site,
He'll mount his horse before the afternoon's light.
