芭蕉的樣子多麼舒展，

So slowly a banana leaf unfurls.

狗跳著，咬身上的蝨子。

The dog jumps, nips at fleas.

當牠叫累了，牠會睡去。

Tired of barking, it soon sleeps.

小女孩翻看著睡蓮葉子，

A young girl stares at a lilypad,

她的弟弟送一桶水去菜地，

her brother lugging waterbuckets to the field.

在四周，群山像一件展開的僧人的袈裟。

Around them, mountains fold like a monk’s robe.

幾個農民刨開蒜苗地，

A few farmers hoe among the garlic sprouts,

陽光湧入，

sunlight gushing.

死者正是這樣得到幸福的。

How the dead gain happiness.

池塘裡掏出來的淤泥，

Muck scooped from the pond

擺在路邊，

lies beside the footpath.

我們處在一個充分暴露的偉大的時期。

Our days are lived in utter revelation.
