佛寺楹聯 ─ 遵義湘山寺觀音殿
一色一香供養十方如來，
華藏莊嚴無盡願；
千手千眼救度眾生苦厄，
娑婆遍滿大悲心。

Temple Couplets - Guanyin Hall, Xiangshan Temple, Zunyi
English translation: Miao Guang

For every color and every incense
offered to the tathagatas of the ten directions,
The lotus treasury* is thus
adorned with infinite vows;
With a thousand hands and a thousand eyes
liberating sentient beings from suffering and adversity,
The mind of great compassion is thus
omnipresent in the Saha World.

── from Fo Guang Jiaokeshu (FGS Essential Guide to Buddhism)

* More commonly known as the Lotus-treasury World, it refers to our
true mind, or Buddha nature, which encompasses the world but
remains pure and untainted like the lotus flower.
