'Night Thoughts on Donglin Temple in Lushan' Li Bai I am looking for the green lotus mansion, going alone to thank the city gate. The frost clears the bell of Donglin, and the water is white with the moon of Huxi. The heavenly fragrance is born in the void, and the heavenly music never stops. Sitting still at the banquet, the great thousand enters the hair. Profoundly understand the true heart, the vast eons are cut off.
