Listen to the sound of water

“Listen to the sound of water"

 Listen to the water running through chasms and rocks.
It is the minor streams that make a loud noise,
The great waters flow silently.”

“The hollow resounds and the full is still.
Foolishness is like a half-filled pot;
The wise man is a lake full of water.”

- from Sn. vv 720, 721, trnsl. Hammalawa Saddhàtissa.

 

佛陀的話:

"聽水聲"
"聽那水穿過了
深壑與岩石，
是那細水擾擾造響，
巨流默默地流著。"
... ...
"空盪引回響
滿實靜不移。
愚人正如半滿壺，
智者恰似滿水湖。"
