Sitting Alone in a Peaceful Wood (by KuKai)

Dawn in the woods at peace

Sitting alone in a grass hut

Reflecting on Buddha's three gems

I hear the cry of a single bird

A bird has its song

A man has his mind

Birdsong and mind

Clouds and water

So alike it seems

閑林獨座

空海

閑林獨座草堂曉

三寶之聲聞一鳥

一鳥有聲人有心

聲心雲水俱了了
