Domain: Literary Chinese 文言文

日有升沉起落故有晚霞余映月有阴晴圆缺故有皓月当空人有悲欢离合故有聚散情缘世有苦空无常故有真理示现(日有升沉起落故有晚霞餘映月有陰晴圓缺故有皓月當空人有悲歡離合故有聚散情緣世有苦空無常故有真理示現) If the sun didn't rise and set, the afterglow of twilight would not be. If the moon didn't wax and wane, we may forget it hangs brightly in the sky. If there were no sorrows of parting and joys of union, we would forget to cherish our time together. Without suffering, emptiness, and impermanence, we would not be aware of Truth.
观晚霞悟知无常因为夕阳近黄昏观白云悟知舒卷因为云出岫无心观山岳悟知灵奇因为远眺山无色观海洋悟知浩瀚因为海水碧连天(觀晚霞悟知無常因為夕陽近黃昏觀白雲悟知舒卷因為雲出岫無心觀山岳悟知靈奇因為遠眺山無色觀海洋悟知浩瀚因為海水碧連天) Twilight carries the message of impermanence, for sunset brings us closer to nightfall. Clouds carry the message of perfect ease, for they top the highest peaks unwittingly. Mountain ranges carry the message of spirituality, for from a distance, they look otherwise. The ocean carries the message of vastness, for it joins the sky beyond the horizon.
