遊恒山

    山恒雲嶺道何在,
    古觀悠悠遊客來;
    常人不知玄中妙,
     利用古廟發黑財。

Visiting North Mount Heng[5]

Where is the Dao in these timeless
     mountains and cloud-shrouded peaks?
Ages has the ancient monastery stood,
     yet now to it tourists flock;
Oblivious to the beauty of mystery,
     the ordinary people,
For vile profits
     exploit the ancient monastery.

June 11, 1995

[5]North Mount Heng, meaning “Everlasting Mountain,” is located in Shanxi Province. It is one of the five “sacred mountains” of China, all of which boast rich historical and spiritual legacies.
