5.6
The profound realm and wondrous domain exist beyond external things; / Alone marked out, the Tiantai peaks present a matchless view. / Concealing superior scenes and harbouring wonders, they line up as a screen, / Piling azure and pouring forth turquoise, deep as black eyebrow-pigment. / Rosy clouds and warm shadows arise on cliff walls; / Fragrant cassia and lush shade envelop the Su rocks. / Master Red Pine was idle and leisurely in vain; / Bai Daoyou cast things away with utter lightness. / An old man of Caoxi has returned among them— / The wind follows the tiger, the clouds follow the dragon! / Catching the inspiration, it is precisely the second or third month; / Sitting cut off from all, he still relies on thousands of peaks. / Flowers drift and flutter, days are long and slow; / The pure breeze whispers and blows at all hours. / Exquisite on all eight sides, it gathers and merges of itself; / Loftily precipitous on one side, who dares peep in? / To peep in, one must obtain the eye of heaven and earth; / Illuminating antiquity and soaring through the present, say there is no gap. / If you can go forth like this and match the complete presentation, / What limit could there be to opening up humans and devas?
