Celebrating Birthday on Huang Shan

Yutang Lin

Elephant Rock with nose erected like a Dorji,
Floating clouds gradually meet as if kissing,
Lion Cliff with tail up, offering a longevity peach,
Green pine welcoming guests to thank them for diligence in climbing.

Comments:

On May 21 we toured the Yellow Mountain (Huang Shan), and it happened to be the birthday of disciple Qin Cheng. At Yu Ping Lou (Jade Shield High-rise) the four of us shared longevity noodles to wish for extended lifespan so as to have more time for Dharma practices and contribution to propagation of the Dharma.
