春雨是最柔软的怜悯

Spring Is The Softest Compassion

一场雨水等待了
一百四十余天
庄稼地特别旱
冬小麦特别渴
农历兔年的正月
祈雨的感觉尤为热烈

这一场春雨来时
我在明道观到棋盘石河谷
行走途中
一开始听到
落叶和枯草
在树林中嘎吧作响

明道观春雨
古银杏树的虬枝
那罗延窟春雨
古冰川期的礐石
在春雨中野餐
在春雨中疾行

心中存道
难以坐而论道
心中有佛
没有吃斋念佛
心中想雨
在野山中遇雨

一滴春雨和另一滴春雨
相遇的时空
或在市井，或在山野
或者仅以诗歌的形式
难忘这早春的湿润
春雨是最柔软的怜悯

Waiting for rain
More than one hundred and forty days
So dry the field
So dry the winter wheat
In the January of the year of the Rabbit
Comes the enthusiastic feeling of praying for rain

This spring rain
Comes when I wandered in the Qi Pan Shi valley
In this Ming Taoist Temple
I wandered and listened
To the slight rustling of leaves and dry grasses
Sounding in the small forest

Spring Rain in Ming Taoist Temple
The winding branches of the old gingko trees
Along with the spring rain in Luo Yan grotto
And the ancient ice age site of Que Shi
Picnicking and pacing together
In this special spring rain

With Taoism on the mind
It is hard to sit and debate
With Buddhism in the heart
I fail to abstain
Thinking of the rain
Meeting rain on the mountain

A drop of rain and another drop of rain
Perhaps in the marketplace,
Perhaps in the mountains
Or  perhaps only in a short poem
The rains of early spring are hard to forget
They are the softest of compassions
