悟桃花頌
唐 靈雲志勤 ( 生卒年不詳 )

三十年來尋劍客，
幾回落葉又抽枝；
自從一見桃花後，
直至如今更不疑。

Ode on Peach Blossom Enlightenment
Lingyun Zhiqin (Years unknown, Tang Dynasty)
English translation: Sasha Lyapina

For thirty years I have searched for a swordsman,
Many times the leaves have fallen and budded again;
Ever since seeing peach blossoms,
Until now I have never doubted again.

── from Wudeng Huiyuan (Compendium of Five Lamps)
