ON VISITING LONGHUA TEMPLE IN RANGOON
From this strategic point, one can control the Southern Seas.
And so a Buddhist Palace was built from a Dragon's Illusion.
Incense floats out from the Golden Pagoda.
The Buddha, himself, seems to appear in the smoke.
The Courtyard buildings are now about to be locked.
The bridge to this place begins to support one end of a jade-like
rainbow.
Here, heaven and man can meet
To honor each other with one sound from the temple bell.
