Hsu Yun (1840-1959)!!

Baoxi Tiefo Temple in Shanxi

If you walk deep into the forest,
At the edge of the white clouds,
You'll find a temple.

The pines are old - as many years as there are wiggles on a dragon.
The cliffs are too steep even for tigers to sleep on.

As cold day starts to invade the heavens,
The sound of chanted sutras purifies your ears.

Dare I inquire after Old Pang Mei - Old Big Eyebrows?
How long has he managed to live here?
