Poems by Lu Tung Pin

What is Tao? What is Tao? It is just this. It cannot be rendered into speech. If you insist on an explanation, This means exactly this.

My heart is the clear water in the stony pond.
My heart is the clear water in the stony pond.
Right now it is invaded by the peach-blossom shadows.
As soon as I arrive at heaven's palaces
I shall settle down with my seven-stringed lute.
