Deep in the stillness

In the deep stillness of a forest in winter, the sound of footsteps on a carpet of leaves died away.

冬日的森林幽深静谧，落叶层上的脚步声逐渐消逝。

The strong tide, so swift, so deep, and certain, was like a congenial friend, in the morning stillness.

清晨静谧之中的澎湃的潮水是那么迅疾，那么深沉，那么可信，有如意气相投的挚友。

In the stillness and silence of meditation, we glimpse and return to that deep inner nature that we have so long ago lost sight of amid the busyness and distraction of our minds.

在禅修的静寂中，我们可以瞥见并回归到深刻的内在自性。那份自性是我们在心的散乱与繁忙中许久未见的。
