三百歲月似水流，
舊殿荒冢滿目秋；
誰知今日又來世，
他日法正萬古留。

一九九七年十月二十六日於康熙陵

A Tour of the Qing East Imperial Tombs^[11]

Three hundred years flow past like water,
Old palaces and desolate tombs fill the eyes with sorrow;
None could foresee my return to the world today,
One day the Fa, mended, will spread for eternity.

October 26, 1997
at the Tomb of Emperor Kang Xi
