擬 古
明 蓮池袾宏 ( 1535~1615 )

畏寒時欲夏，
苦熱復思冬；
妄想能消滅，
安身處處同。

Imitating the Classics
Lianchi Zhuhong (1535 - 1615, Ming Dynasty)
English translation: You Zai

When one fears the frigid weather,
    one always longs for the summer;
When one feels the scorching heat,
    one repeatedly thinks of winter.
When illusory thoughts are eradicated,
    one is able to settle anywhere.

── from Yunqi Fahui (Anthology of the Teachings of Yunqi)
