春有百花秋有月,
夏有凉风冬有雪。
若无闲事挂心头,
便是人间好时节。
– 无门禅师
Spring has hundreds of flowers, autumn has the [fullest] moon.
Summer has cooling breezes, winter has snow.
If without other matters on the mind,
then is this human world’s good season.
– Chán Master Wúmén
若不念佛把心清,
人间何时无闲事?
闲时不把心念净,
来世继续管闲事。
If not mindful of Buddha to make the mind clear,
when in this human world will there be without other matters?
When free, not making the mind purer with mindfulness,
in the next life continue to be bothered by other matters.
