Diligent Poem by Luo Zhihai

勤勉

师太发功徒弟手忙脚乱
学生颔首主人云净天空
咬文嚼字仍须四季刻苦
累寸积铢全仗一生务农

注：第一三句罗志海作，第二四句寂静无声作，第三句柯宜超作。


Diligent

An old Buddhist nun moved qigong
her apprentices acted with confusion
Students nodding
their master cleaned the clouds and emptied the sky

Chewing upon a subject
still must be assiduous in the four seasons
Accumulate in inches
rely on farming all through my life


Note: first sentence by Luo Zhihai.
Second and fourth sentences by Jijingwusheng.
Third sentence by Ke Yichao.
