Standing atop a soaring mountain peak is for the time being,
And plunging down to the floor  of the Ocean’s abyss is for the time being;
Being triple-headed and eight-armed is for the time being,
And being a figure of a Buddha standing sixteen feet tall or sitting eight feet high is for the time being;
Being a monk’s traveling staff  or his ceremonial hossu  is for the time being,
And being a pillar supporting  the temple  or a stone lantern before  the Meditation Hall  is for the time being;
Being a next-door neighbor or a man in the street is for the time being,
And being the whole of the great earth and boundless space is for the time being.
