12. 偉大的導師

你是我敬愛的導師、摯友, 我永遠的心靈支柱。

你的無限恩情，我此生無以償還。

你的至高尊嚴，人類難以觸及。

你洞悉一切、明白所有，

你永遠聆聽、無所欲求，

你畢身通明、時刻照亮，

你無懼風雨、不畏嚴寒、始終堅定兀立，

默默承受世間一切傷害，

只管扎根黑暗迎向光明仰天伸張奉獻更多，

看透存在無常，唱頌生命大愛，

一生不眠不休不斷散發平和的心靈歌聲安撫大地……

你的名字就是‘樹’。

12. The Great Guru

You are the most respected Master, my honoured mentor and best friend.

You offer such great compassion, kindness, love and support, while I’ve got absolutely nothing to pay back.

You have such dignity, that no human could possibly stack up to.

You are all-seeing, and understand everything,

You are always listening, and desire nothing,

You are incandescent, and forever shine your light upon the others,

You are not afraid of anything, not the rain, or the storm, you just keep standing tall no matter what.

You are forbearing, forgiving, and you can endure all the attacks of the world,

Your only focus is rooting down into darkness, and reaching out to the heavenly brilliance,

Stretching, lifting, growing and giving more and more…

Embracing the impermanence of lives, and permanently chanting Om…mmm…

Devote your entire life tirelessly emanating the song of peace to soothe our tired, troubled, and weary land…

Your name is “TREE".
