Translation of quote from Su Shih's poem:

Guanyin did not come,
I did not go.
Water in the basin,
Moon in the sky above.

觀音不來
我亦不去
水在盆中
月在天上


Complete poem:

稽首觀音
宴坐寶石
忽忽夢中
應我空寂
觀音不來
我亦不去
水在盆中
月在天上


Translation:

I bow to Guanyin,
Resting on the precious stone.
While I was lost in a dream,
The bodhisattva responded to my emptiness.
Gunayin did not come,
I did not go.
Water sits in the basin,
The moon in the sky above.
