迢迢清水湧面來，

石花鐵杵插淵寒，

莫知泉源發何處，

黃雲迥峰養金苔。

天鑿蓮池翠葉霜，

玉荷襲風入香懷，

茗漚妝漫情自是，

永晝新夢無相禪。

辛未炎夏， 韶光似金， 不想華雲自出， 閒日拈來，

盡情而巳， 隨意薄寄， 沽心點靈罷了。

逍遙畫並書

Clear water in the distance rushing forth to my face, stones appear as flowers and rock- pestle sticking in deep and cold water; no one knows where the source of the spring initiates from, the auspicious vitality revolves around the summit to nourish the golden moss (legendary moss also known as manjin moss, with colors of gold used for lighting).

Heaven chisels a lotus pond filled with green jade leaves like crystal, lotus of white Jade accidently touched by the wind and into her sweet smelling embrace.  Sipping tea steeped for a length of time and dressing herself up in free feeling naturally;  it is always daytime and fresh new dreams are the phenomena of the Zen of non-phenomena.

Hot summer of xin wei year (1991), time is like the gold, rosy clouds unexpectedly coming out by itself, during leisure days without extra trouble, it is to the limit of my feeling that is all, so carefree and at ease expressing this in writing, seeking people's mind and to ignite the awareness of their soul, nothing more.
