千百年来碗里羹,
怨深似海恨难平。
欲知世上刀兵劫,
但听屠门夜半声。
– 愿云禅师
For thousands of hundreds of years since, within meat broths in bowls, is resentment deep like the ocean, with hatred difficult to pacify. If desiring to know the world’s wars’ and disasters’ causes, you only have to listen, at slaughterhouses’ gates, to their midnight cries.
– Chán Master Yuànyún
