Couplet at the Líng Yún Temple in Lè Shān, Sìchuān
-by Anon
-Translated by Frank C Yue

Laughing at Old Days, laughing at To-day,
Laughing at the East, laughing at the West,
Laughing at the South, laughing at theNorth,
Laughing while Coming Back, laughing while Going Forth -
Laughing at Self just have Perception andKnowledge nil.

Looking at Issues, looking at Things,
Looking at the Heav'ns, looking at the Earth,
Looking at the Sun, looking at the Moonround,
Looking Up, looking Down -
Looking at Others who have their Highsand their Lows still.


四川乐山 凌云寺 内大肚彌勒佛旁有一副对联:

笑古笑今，笑東笑西，笑南笑北，笑來笑去，笑自己原來無知無識。

觀事觀物，觀天觀地，觀日觀月，觀上觀下，觀他人總是有高有低。
