I've worried that the love will weaken my practice,
trying to seclude in the mountain but fearing to lose you.
Where could i find a way to get you and the Enlightenment both?
So i won't let you and the Buddha down in this dew-like world.
曾虑多情损梵行， 入山又恐别倾城，
世间安得双全法， 不负如来不负卿。
By Tsangyang Gyatso
Classical Chinese poetry thrives on Concision and Ambiguity. Without tense or number, the words create a timeless space where the reader becomes the co-creator of the poem's meaning.
Look for Contrasts: light and shadow, movement and stillness. Don't just translate the words; feel the Yijing (artistic conception) that lingers long after the last character.
