1、在恋人谷

1. In the Lovers’ Valley

（1）众生脚下

我们走在栈道上拍风景

栈道下的恋人谷睁着扎眼的红绸带

突然，涧风送来一个梦幻般的男中音：

我不在众生脚下谁在众生脚下？

罪过，是谁把栈道修在菩萨头上？

我不得不诚惶诚恐地把栈道钉在原地

但栈道依然抬着芸芸众生在我身边

来来去去

（1）Under the Feet of All Mortal Beings

We are strolling on the plank road to take pictures of scenery

The Lovers' Valley under the plank road is opening its dazzling eye-like red silk ribbon

Suddenly, wind from the valley wafts a dreamy baritone voice: 

If I were not under the feet of all mortal beings, who else would?

It is a sin. Who has built the plank path on the head of Bodhisattva?

I have to, with reverence and awe, nail the plank road in place

But the plank road is still carrying people around me

Coming and going

（2）梯子

沿着梯子向恋人谷走下去时

我的腿在打颤

梯子像一只忠诚的狗拖住我的腿

对我发出灾难前的预警

我知道，此刻你戴着口罩

正在一棵樱花树下向南国凝望

我知道，口罩不仅遮蔽着你的春天

也把我们分隔在今生和来世

于是，我像一个赴死的勇士

向恋人谷底跳了下去

我要去那个深不见底的岁月里

打捞一只口罩在来世的秘密

（2） Ladder

Walking down the ladder to the Lovers' Valley

I feel my legs trembling

The ladder, like a loyal dog dragging my leg

Gives me a pre-disaster warning

I know, that now you, wearing a mask

Are gazing at the South under a cherry tree

I know, that not only does the mask conceal your spring,

But also separates us in this life and the afterlife

So, I, like a warrior going to his death unflinchingly

Jump to the bottom of the Lovers’Valley

To salvage from a fathomless abyss of time

The secret of a mask in the afterlife

（3）红绸带

好多的红绸带啊

系在千千万万颗心上

我相信，每条红绸带

都拴着一个守望的命运

我在自己点燃的香火中跪下

红绸带像一根千斤铁绳缠绕在我颈上

我闭着眼睛

把来世的愿望写在红绸带上

也写在菩萨慈悲的目光里

此刻，我听到恋人谷的上空有隐隐的雷声

雷声在阳光里翻滚

于是，我知道了菩萨的态度

也知道了我来世的爱情

（3）Red Silk Ribbon

So many red silk ribbons,

are tying to thousands of hearts

I believe every red silk ribbon

Is tied to a watchful fate

I kneel before the burning incense I ignited

The red silk ribbon is like an iron rope 

Weighing a thousand catties twining around my neck

I, with my eyes closed, 

Write my wish for afterlife on a red silk ribbon

As well as on Bodhisattva’s merciful eyes

At this very moment, I hear a faint flow of thunder over the Lovers’ Valley

The thunders are rolling in the sun

Thenceforth, Bodhisattva’s attitude dawns on me

So does my afterlife love

（4）观音签

钟鼎响了一下

声音沉闷又神秘

我在余音袅袅中摇出了

我的命运签

此签用童谣似的箴言告诉我：

我是来尘世度劫的

却没有告诉我何时是尽头

钟鼎再为别的信众敲响时

我知道这声音是我溃逃的路

（4）Avalokitesvara Lots

The bell chimes once,

With a sound dull and mysterious

In the lingering bell chiming, I shake out 

My fate lot

The lot tells me with a maxim like children’s folk rhymes:

I came to the world for trials and the Buddha's tests

But it doesn’t tell me when it will come to a conclusion

When the bell chimes for other worshippers,

I know this sound is the way to flee in my heart

（5）离开时

离开时心情阴郁

梯子翻转成上坡

我在恋人谷没有遇到今生的灾难

但遇到了来生的灾难

踩在我身上向上爬行的石梯

在我的梦中反复出现

它是一条和我的命运纠缠不清的蛇

（5）Upon Leaving

Upon leaving, I am in a gloomy mood

The ladder has become uphill road by rotation 

In the Lovers' Valley, I have not encountered the disaster of my life,

But the disaster of my afterlife

The stone ladder that crawls upward by treading on me

Keeps recurring in my dreams

It is a snake entangled with my fate

（6）躲

小视频背后

你躲在一片雪花里

雪花背后

你躲在一扇窗户里

窗户背后

你躲在一只黑色的口罩里

口罩背后

你躲在世俗的目光里

目光背后

你对漫天的雪花说：

请原谅，这是我最后的放纵

（6）Hiding

Behind the little video

You hide in a snowflake

Behind snowflakes

You hide in a window

Behind the window

You hide in a black mask

Behind the mask

You hide in the eyes of the mundane folks

Behind the eyes

You say to the snowflakes dancing all over the sky:

Please excuse me, this is my last indulgence

2、在飞龙寺

2、 In the Flying Dragon Temple

（1）留影

信佛几十年

我不知道在寺庙不能和佛菩萨合影

甚至不能和香火合影

于是，在飞龙寺我犯下了与香火合影的错误

当女儿的闪光快门按下时

天空裂开一道口子

一束金光射下来

击中了我的天灵

瞬间，许多奇妙的事情发生

这一切，肉眼凡胎的女儿看不见

她只看见与我合影的香火摇晃了几下

灰烬悉数跌落下来

此刻，我已知道，我是乘着这些灰烬来到尘世的

（1）Taking Photos

Despite decades of my Buddhist faith,

I do not know that it is unlucky to take a group photo 

With Buddha and Bodhisattva in the temple

Even burning incense as well

So I make the mistake of taking a group photo with burning incenses in the Flying Dragon Temple

When my daughter presses the flash shutter,

There comes a gap in the sky

A beam of golden light flooding down,

Hits the top of my head

In an instant, many wonderful things have happened

All this, my mundane daughter can't see them

She only sees the incense shake several times

All the ashes have fallen down

At this moment, I know that I came to this world by riding these ashes

（2）千年乌龟

八百年前的师弟

始终闭着眼睛不与我相认

我在心中冲它喊：

师父不公平

你转一世就到佛祖跟前听差

我转十世还在人间地狱轮回

这个装聋作哑的同门

它伸了一下脖子

仍然紧闭着眼睛

（2）Millennium Tortoise

My junior fellow apprentice eight hundred years ago

Is always closing its eyes and won’t recognize me

I yell at it in my heart:

Master is unfair

Just one incarnation renders you running errands for the Buddha

Although I have had tenth reincarnation,I am still suffering from samsaras

This fellow disciple pretending to be deaf and mute

Stretches its neck,

With eyes still closed tightly

（3）为五帝钱开光

考究五帝钱的真假

犹如考究这些佛菩萨的出身

显得如此多余

考究五帝钱避邪的效果

犹如考究这些佛菩萨的法力

显得如此多余

不多余的是

必须为精心挑选的五帝钱开光

我从师傅开光时陌生的念咒声中

听到了未来某种熟悉的声音

这声音涂改了我的过去

我正在变成一个可以修成正果的童身

像此时手中捧着的这串五帝钱

在佛祖的漠视下闪闪发光

（3）Opening the Light for Five Emperors’Coins

To examine whether the five emperors’coins are genuine or fake

Is like examining the origin of these Buddhas and Bodhisattvas,

Which looks so redundant

To examine the effect of the five emperors’ coins for warding off evil spirits

Is like examining the power of these Buddhas and Bodhisattvas,

Which looks so redundant

What is not redundant at all

Is to open the light for the carefully-selected five emperors’coins

From the master' s strange incantation chanting, 

I hear some familiar sounds in the future,

Which have altered my past

I'm turning into a child who can get a perfect fruit

Like this string of the five emperors’ coins in my hand at this time,

Glittering in the indifference of Buddha

（4）和尚师傅

和尚师傅并非看破红尘的人

看破红尘的人往往还在红尘

比如我

早已看破红尘

却要带着两个孩子以及对他们的希冀

来到寺庙

我的来去匆匆

把和尚的灵魂带到了凡间

我的来去匆匆

把我的肉身关在寺庙修行

（4）Monk

Monk is not a man who has seen through the world of mortals

People who have seen through it are probably still in it

Take me for example,

Having already seen through it

But I still take my two kids and my hopes for them

To the temple

My coming and going in haste, 

Bring the monk’s soul to the world of mortals

My coming and going in haste,

Enclose my body in the temple for practicing

（5）人间香火

以虔诚之心捧着这串五帝钱

告别飞龙寺时

我感觉自己刚刚修行了几世

其实

人应该把神看成人

因为，神从来就把人看成神

没有人间香火

神会跌下神坛

（5）Joss Sticks and Candles Burning in the World

When holding this string of the five emperors’coins with piety, 

And bidding farewell to the Flying Dragon Temple, 

I feel like I have just been practicing for several generations

In fact,

Man should see god as man

For god has always regarded man as god

Without Joss Sticks and Candles burning in the World

God will fall from the altar
