大螺顶礼智慧灯

上大螺顶。拜智慧灯。第一夜无所见。二夜见北台顶。一团火飞中台落。分十余团。大小不同。三夜见中台。空中三团火。飞上飞下北台又现。四五处火团。亦飞上飞下。各处交流。大小不一。

宣化偈曰：
大螺顶拜智慧灯。人皆来此问前程。
初无所见久则现。惟有大小各不同。

Paying his respects to the Wisdom Lamps on Ta Lo Mountain

The Master climbed up Ta Lo Peak and bowed to the Lamps of Wisdom. During the first night of his stay he saw nothing unusual. But on the second night he beheld a ball of fire as it flew up from North Peak and descended at Central Peak where it divided into at least ten flaming balls of different sizes. On the third night of his stay he witnessed three balls of fire floating up and down in the sky around Central Peak and four or five of various sizes floating up and down in the vicinity of North Peak.

The verse says:
The Master bowed to the Wisdom Lamps on top of Ta Lo Mountain.
People often came to this spot to witness what fortune they might.
At first there was nothing unusual, but then they all appeared:
Large ones, small ones, and in between-each fireball was unique.
