佛寺楹聯 ─ 客堂
客來莫嫌茶飯淡，
僧家不比世情濃。
山色青翠隨僧入院，
松聲靜雅與客談玄。
──選自《寺院楹聯集錦》

Temple Couplets - Reception Hall
English translation: Zhi Yue
Guests, be not disdainful of humble tea and rice;
the monastery is unlike thick worldly passions.
The verdant mountain on monastery premises,
and the still pines converse elegantly with visitors.
── from Siyuan Yinglian Jijin (Collection of Temple Couplets)
