石上禪語

石之重， 如吾身之負。

裂紋縱橫，非破，乃路。

行於石堆間，步步難前。

俯視其脈絡，知方向可尋。

人生如此，重非障，裂非殘。

循紋而行，處處皆生機。

Zen Words on Stone

The weight of stone

is like the burdens I bear.

Cracks run through it —

not as breaks, but as paths.

I walk among these stones,

each step heavy and uncertain.

Yet when I look closely

at its veins and lines,

I see direction revealed.

Life is the same:

weight is not an obstacle,

cracks are not flaws.

Follow the lines,

and everywhere, life emerges.
