向水的祈祷

请保留我的天真 像你保留每一滴落入你的透明的雨
请洁净我的欲望 像你洁净每一颗飘入你的尘埃
请唤醒我的温柔 像你唤醒每一株遇见你的蔷薇

请承托我的脆弱 像你承托每一片飘零的落叶
请抹去那些伤痛 像你抹去每一道树枝的划痕
请抚摸我的孤单 像你抚摸每一条迷失的鱼

请带走我的妒忌 像你带走沙漠里炙热的风
请映照我的谦卑 像你映照那匹弯腰向你的瘦马
请容纳我的骄傲 像你容纳那满天的星光

Pray to the water

Please keep my innocence
like you keep every drop of rain falling into you
Please cleanse my desire
like you clean every dust that floats into you
Please wake up my tenderness
like you wake up every rose that meets you

Please support my fragility
like you support every piece of falling leaf
Please erase those hurts
like you erase the scratches of every branch
Please touch my loneliness
like you touch every lost fish

Please take away my jealousy
like you take away the hot wind in the desert
Please reflect my humility
as you reflect the thin horse that bends towards you
Please hold my pride
like you hold the starlight all over the sky

水是至上的真

Water is the uppermost truth

清澈透明   纯净见底

Clear and transparent – pure from surface to the bottom

内外相连   完善统一

Inside and outside linked, perfectly unified

水是至上的善

Water is uppermost kind

它浸润  承载  包容一切

It infiltrates, supports and tolerates everything

恩泽万物  大德无言 

Bestowing benefit on all beings 

Great bounty with silence

水是唯一的永恒

Water is uniquely eternal

存在于世界的初始

Existing since the beginning of the world

也将存在于世界的尽末

It will also exist in the end of the world

水是唯一的纯粹

Water is the only purity

没有物质能进入水

Nothing can separate it or intrude into it

它们只在水的外部 被其包围 

Things just pass its outside and are surrounded by it

水是最自由的存在

Water is the freest existence

它无所依又无所不依

It depends on nothing but exists in everything

变幻无穷  匪夷所思

It changes irregularly out of imagination

你无法留住一滴水 

You can not keep a drop of water

水是最矛盾的存在

Water is the most contradictory existence

最柔弱也最强大

The most delicate and strongest

它成就一切   也摧毁一切

With great accomplishment and great destruction

水是组成世界最神秘的元素

Water is the most mysterious element of the world

进入 掌控一切

Going through and controlling everything

真实地包含虚幻

Including illusion in truth

映照事物的本真

Reflecting the essence of substance

你无法进入水

You can not become one with the water

但在水中      看到你自己

But when you look at it    you see yourself
