人生到处知何似，应似飞鸿踏雪泥。

泥上偶然留指爪，鸿飞那复计东西。

          *********

人生到處知何似, 應似飛鴻踏雪泥。

泥上偶然留指爪, 鴻飛那復計東西。

What can life be likened to?

It is like the swan when it touches down on the melting snow.

There it happens to leave its footprint transiently.

Then off it flies, no one knows it going to the east, or to the west.
