Quote Excerpt
Description:
久坐方知春晝長
南宋‧高宗趙構（1107~1187）
久坐方知春晝長，靜中心地自清凉；
人言圓覺何曾覺，但見塵勞盡日忙。
Long Spring Days Only Grasped
After Lengthy Sitting
Gaozong Zhaogou (1107 - 1187, Southern Song Dynasty)
English translation: Miao Guang
Long spring days only grasped after lengthy sitting.
In tranquility is the mind naturally calmed and cooled.
Of perfect enlightenment, when was it ever thus?
Hectic days of a mundane life is but all one sees.
