思绪像一颗星在木鱼声里散步〔英汉互译点评〕
作者：苏德宏（中国山西）
钟声阵阵，
木鱼声声……
谁人祈梦，
谁人捐银……
几人放下成佛的执念，
献出善款，
供养孤儿读书？
几人放下成佛的贪念，
怀揣善款，
伺候无儿之母？
阿弥陀佛！
阿弥陀佛！
阿弥陀佛！
阿弥陀佛！
阿弥——
陀佛！
阿弥——
陀佛！
阿
弥
陀
佛
阿
弥
陀

Thoughts Wander Like a Star in the Wooden Fish’s Chime
Lyricist: Su Dehong (Shanxi, China)
Bell chimes ring on and on,
Wooden fish beats drone and drone……
Who prays for dreams to come true,
Who donates silver coins in view……
How many let go of the obsession to become a Buddha,
Offer charitable donations,
To support orphaned children in schooling?
How many cast aside the greed for Buddhahood,
With kind donations in heart,
To care for childless elderly mothers?
Amitabha!
Amitabha!
Amitabha!
Amitabha!
Ami——
tabha!
Ami——
tabha!

品读《思绪像一颗星在木鱼声里散步》
作词：苏德宏（中国山西）
这首禅意小诗以钟声、木鱼声开篇，瞬间铺展古寺清寂、梵音缭绕的空灵意境，开篇句“思绪像一颗星在木鱼声里散步”极有画面感——把缥缈思绪化作孤星，在低沉绵长的木鱼声里缓缓游走，空灵、静谧又带着人间清醒。
▲意境与层次
开篇叠句“钟声阵阵，木鱼声声……”，以极简白描烘托禅院氛围，紧接着两句“谁人祈梦，谁人捐银……”陡然落笔人间百态：世人入寺，各有心事，有人求安稳幻梦，有人随缘布施银两，寥寥八字道尽世俗众生相。
中段是全诗灵魂叩问：跳出寻常拜佛求仙的俗套，不颂香火、不慕成佛，反而发出两道直击人心的追问：
1. 真正放下成佛执念的人，可否以善款助学孤儿、庇佑稚子？
2. 真正放下修行贪念的人，可否以善心赡养孤寡老人、尽人间温情？
把成佛的执念与贪念，对照人间的善行与孝道，撕开了部分人拜佛只求自身圆满、却漠视世间疾苦的虚伪，点破：真正的修行，从不在香火庙堂，而在行善济人、体恤孤弱。
句式与收尾韵味
后半段反复叠诵“阿弥陀佛”，由短句到拖腔拉长，再到逐字拆分、一字一顿：
阿
弥
陀
佛
节奏由平缓到悠长，由急促到沉静，像木鱼渐敲渐缓、梵音慢慢弥散。
重复的佛号不再是简单诵经，而是带着悲悯、叹息与劝世的深意，余韵绵长，让人在声声佛号里沉思：何为修行，何为向善，何为真正的悟道成佛。
▲整体内核
整首词禅意入骨、立意深刻，借木鱼梵音为壳，以人间疾苦为核，讽世俗虚浮的拜佛，倡落地走心的行善。文字质朴无华丽雕琢，却句句叩心，空灵中藏烟火，禅意里有苍生，是一首极具现实警醒意义的禅韵词作。

English Commentary on Thoughts Wander Like a Star in the Wooden Fish’s Chime
By Su Dehong (Shanxi, China)
This poetic lyric carries profound Zen charm and human compassion from beginning to end. The opening line is exquisitely conceived—it compares wandering inner thoughts to a lone star pacing slowly amid the low, rhythmic tapping of the wooden fish, instantly building a quiet, ethereal and meditative temple atmosphere.
With simple repetitive lines Bell chimes ring on and on, Wooden fish beats drone and drone, the work sets off the solemn serenity of a Buddhist temple. Then the rhetorical questions Who prays for dreams to come true, Who donates silver coins in view sharply portray all living beings in the mortal world: many come to the temple only to pray for personal blessings and worldly wishes.
The core of the piece lies in its thought-provoking inquiries. It profoundly reflects on people’s obsession and greed for Buddhahood. The poet points out plainly that true spiritual practice is not clinging to illusory enlightenment, but using kindness and donations to support orphaned children and take care of lonely childless elders. It breaks the vanity of superficial worship and advocates doing good deeds and warming the world with real actions.
The repeated chanting of Amitabha forms a slow, layered rhythm—from regular recitation to prolonged cadence, then separated word by word. The lingering Buddhist chanting turns into a gentle sigh and a solemn reminder, leaving endless aftertaste and deep reflection.
Overall, the work blends Zen mood with mortal sentiments. Its language is plain but powerful, full of poetic imagery, moral persuasion and deep care for the vulnerable. It is a meaningful, soul-stirring Buddhist lyric with profound realistic insight.
