In my Golden age, as the Yellow Bell,
I serve twice a day at the temple's belfry
Surrounded by the echoed mountains.
This is my way of putting into practice
My meditation retreat and ask the mean
Of a good faith. As the Yellow Bell,
My sacred number totals 81 to display
Interrelation with the Triad of Heaven,
Earth and Man (3x3x3x3), which is
The general measure, the tuning fork,
The earthly voice uttered in the middle
Between the lasting relations of Heaven
And Man manifested thru the Yellow Toll.
From moment to moment I feel the lack
Of space and airfree at this secluded spot:
High peaks and their jagged cliffs, rapids
And waterfalls are so much compact here,
As if depicted on the ancient hang-scroll.
This little world's creation is just entirety
Of being-in-body; so, do not be surprised
That I produce the toll of the Central Key,
The global camertone, the pure voice
Of the remaining consciousness, which
Declares peace for long in all under heaven.
