《送僧归日本》 钱起
上国随缘住，来途若梦行。
浮天沧海远，去世法舟轻。
水月通禅寂，鱼龙听梵声。
惟怜一灯影，万里眼中明。
Seeing a Japanese Bonze Off to Japan
Qian Qi
For Buddhism’s sake you have come in this land to stay;
You seem to have voyaged dreamily along your way.
The boundless sea you crossed upsurges to the skies;
The vessel laden with Buddha’s teaching its way flies.
The moon and water know something Buddhism can lend;
To the chanted Sutra fish and dragons their ears bend.
That which we hold dear is the solitary light
From thousand and thousand li away shining bright.
