Description:
朝看花開滿樹紅
唐 龍牙居遁禪師（835～923）
朝看花開滿樹紅，暮看花落樹還空；
若將花比人間事，花與人間事一同。
──《禪門諸祖師偈頌》
In the Morning, One Sees a Tree Full of Red Flower Blossoms
Longya Judun (835 - 923, Tang Dynasty)
English translation: Zhi Yue
In the morning, one sees a tree full of red flower blossoms;
In the evening, one finds fallen flowers, and a tree once again bare.
Shall these flowers be compared to worldly affairs,
What then becomes obvious is that all are but one and the same.
── from Chanmen Zhu Zhushi Jisong (Verses of the Chan Patriarchs)
