Door Mottoes.

古寺無燈明月照
山門不鎖白雲封

漢候宋王明大帝
儒聖釋佛道天尊

道高龍虎伏
德重鬼神欽

讀好書,行好事 Mr. Pye saw on road to San Ch'üan.

為人不作虧心事
半夜打門心不驚

白日莫閒過
青春不再來

綠水本無憂,因風皺面
青山原不老為雪白頭
[?] see AHS with PS3

半個蒲團天地老
一聲清罄古今空
Half a reed cushion for the priest to kneel
on, thus heaven and earth are growing old.

A few dear strokes of the Chines that quickly
are ended, things ancient and modern alike
are but vanity.

玉不琢,不成器
近者悅,遠者來
