是岁加州旱,庭院草未新。春节气候转,清晨雨淋淋。聊拔石上绿,轻拂车顶尘。松间聆道场,来求主义真。
Drought is rampant in California this year
In my yard, new grass is rare
As Lunar New Year came climate changed
This morning, on and off, it rained
I pulled at some weeds in my rock garden
And did a mopping of my car
To that temple amidst the tall pine trees
I came to seek the guiding star
