Southern Heaven

White Crane Immortal Teacher

[Ron Goninan]

I believe the others say:

 

"Even if the spirits do not appear fearsome and powerful, you should still fear them"

 

"Even if your teacher has grown old, if he is virtuous, you must still respect him."

 

Can you give me a translation of the following:

not quite. yours is a western thinking

 

仙灵哉不威 - 自畏

师老矣有德 - 须尊

 

when an immortal turns into a heavenly being he becomes not imposing - then its time to be in awe of him

when a teacher grows old it means he has accumulated De - then one must worship him.

 

i cant read cursive on the other two, ask Chidragon.

僊(仙)灵哉不威 - 自畏

The immortal spirits are not fearsome, but everyone should still respect them.

 

师老矣有德 - 须尊

The elder teachers are virtuous and we shall respect them.

 

燕燕如山大似海

The flock of swallows is like a mountain and big as the sea.

 

青松古竹風不動

The standing green pines and antique bamboos and the wind is not moving.
