Re: A Chinese Stanza

Dear friends,

I have come up with a rhythming version of the beautiful stanza:

The Embarkment Stanza:

The doctrine of an immeasurable breadth,
the encounter in countless eons rare;
I witness, I profess, it now and here,
upon I vow to comprehend Thy Teachings clear.


metta,
Yong Peng
