Pass the Xiang Ji temple, Wang wei (過香積寺,王維)

unaware of Xiang Ji temple
several miles into the cloudy mountain
ancient wood paths without people
deep moutains where the bell is
fountain sound cries the dangerous stones
day light cold green pines
thin mist empty pond music
AnZen restrians poisonous dragon

"Where does the temple lies?  Without many people, it is a quiet place for AnZen."

Original  Chinese:

過香積寺,王維

不知香積寺,數裡入雲峰
古木無人徑,深山何處鐘
泉聲咽危石,日色冷青松
薄暮空潭曲,安禪制毒龍
