想必张继的烦恼不止一百零八种
不然为什么寒山寺的钟声
仍然露出那一脸愁让江枫渔火看？

听说越聪明的人烦恼越多
那么，为什么不学学寒山和拾得
遁入寒山寺做静观自得的愚痴？

注：据传人有一百零八种烦恼，只要听了寒山寺的钟声，便可尽去，除夕夜听之尤灵。未知果然否？

At Hanshan Temple　　Hsu ChiCheng

Presumably Zhang JI had met with over 0ne hundred and eight sorts of vexations
If not, why the bells at Hanshan Temple still wears a distressed expression
Before the riverside maples and light on fishing boats?

It is said that wiser one is more vexations he meets with
Then, why don’t we withdraw from secular life and
Become a Buddhist at Hanshan Temple as Hanshan and Shi De did?

*: It is said that one has to meet with 108 sorts of vexations all his life. All vexations will vanish like mist and smoke as long as you hear the bells of Hanshan Temple, especially on New Year’s Eve. I wonder whether this is true or not.@
