風傳林磬响
月掩草堂遅
坐卧禅心在
浮生皆不知
庚申仲冬
The sound of wind chimes in the forest
Moon covers the thatched cottage slowly
Sitting, the mind remains in meditation
Worldly life is unknown
Year of Metal-Monkey (..,1920,1980...) Mid- winter
Right,
何用別寽
方外去
人間亦自
有丹邱
庚申仲冬
Why seek elsewhere beyond the mundane world
The mortal realm itself holds its own celestial paradise
Year of Metal-Monkey (..,1920,1980...) Mid- winter
Engraver's signature reads 任氏 "Master Jin" (or in Chinese "Master Ren"
