開山何日事,斷碣臥荒榛。
食盡僧行腳,兵來佛捨身。
燒痕侵殿址,租額累山鄰。
可是天魔盛,誰能問大鈞。
開山何日事,斷碣臥荒榛。
食盡僧行腳,兵來佛捨身。
燒痕侵殿址,租額累山鄰。
可是天魔盛,誰能問大鈞。
開山建寺是哪一天的事?
斷碑橫臥在荒蕪的荊棘中。
糧食耗盡,僧人云游化緣;
兵禍襲來,佛像也遭毀棄。
火燒的痕跡侵蝕著殿基,
沉重的租稅連累著山鄰。
莫非是天魔勢力太盛?
誰能去質問那主宰命運的老天?
When was this temple built? None can recall,
Its broken stele lies buried in wild thorns.
Monks beg for alms as food supplies grow small;
Buddha gives his body when the soldier warns.
Scorch marks encroach upon the hall's foundation,
Tax burdens weigh upon the mountain's kin.
Is this the demon's rampant domination?
Who can inquire of Heaven's will within?
廢墟認知揭示文明治理的興衰周期。
探訪古寺遺址,感懷歷史滄桑與時光流逝。
本詩為五言律詩,押平聲韻。
