Proudly Facing the Rivers and Lakes 


Close the door on the right
And open the door on the left

I give the rivers and lakes 
To you 
And the land and kingdom
To him

I
Sit on a cloud
Proudly facing the rivers and lakes
And overlooking the land and kingdom

I 
Stand on the summit
Leisurely listening to the ebb and flow of the tides
And watching the rise and fall of the sun

Under my feet 
99 floors down the pagoda 
Is where the cooking smoke flows

Behind my body
99 lotus flowers away 
Is where other beings reside
