00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:05,690
公元三六六年，僧人乐僔行至此山。
In 366 CE, the monk Lezun came to this mountain.

2
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,705
忽见金光，状有千佛。
Suddenly he saw a golden light, in the form of a thousand Buddhas.

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,290
于是，他在崖壁上凿开了第一个洞窟。
So he cut the first cave into the cliff.

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,740
此后一千年，人们在这里接着凿，接着画。
For a thousand years, others kept carving here, and kept painting.

5
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:33,340
一灯能除千年暗。灯照到哪里，哪里就有了颜色。
One lamp ends a thousand years of dark. Wherever it shines, colour returns.

6
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:53,040
神秀说：身是菩提树，心如明镜台。时时勤拂拭，莫使有尘埃。
Shenxiu said: the mind is a bright mirror on its stand. Wipe it always; let no dust settle.

7
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:59,000
慧能说：菩提本无树，明镜亦无台。
Huineng said: bodhi has no tree, and the bright mirror has no stand.

8
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:12,530
唐代，法藏取十面镜，八方上下，中安佛像，燃一炬以照之。
In the Tang, Fazang set ten mirrors — eight around, one above, one below — a Buddha in the midst, and lit one torch.

9
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,675
镜镜相照，重重无尽。
Mirror within mirror, layer upon layer, without end.

10
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:26,490
在这里，光走得很慢：越深的倒影，越是从前。镜中所见，皆已过去。
Here, light travels slowly: the deeper the reflection, the older the moment. Whatever a mirror shows has already passed.

11
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:39,420
天女散花。执着的，花便粘住；放下的，花自落去。
A goddess scatters flowers. Grasp, and they cling. Let go, and they fall away.

12
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,240
色不异空，空不异色。
Form is not other than emptiness; emptiness is not other than form.

13
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,320
一千六百年的颜色，本是一捧沙土。
Sixteen centuries of colour — once, a handful of earth.

14
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:19,090
千百年来，开窟的人在壁上留下名字：一心供养。
For centuries, those who opened caves wrote their names on the wall: offered with a whole heart.

15
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,850
空，是一切生起的地方。
Space is where everything arises.
