Yen Tu Mountain
A sacred Buddhist Land with myriad mysteries:
Yen Tu, cradle of the Bamboo New School;
visitors come, lured by old, familiar sights…
Yen Trung Lake, its sleepy water deep and blue
Roads paved with Tran Dynasty chrysanthemum bricks,
statues of lions embossed with pretty porcelain;
look! those three plumeria alba trees, are they from olden days?
so familiar, so lovely – after such a long time!
