Visiting the Monastery at Lung-men
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
I explored the grounds with monks this evening,
and now the night has passed. Heavy silence rises all around us while late moonlight spills through the forest. The mountain rises almost into heaven. Sleeping in the clouds is cold. A single stroke of the early prayer-bell wakes me. Does it also waken my soul?
