Inscription

dated 1796 Inscription: 靈巖寺東甘露泉淙淙漱石清韻滌煩古木參差亭軒幽爽第一勝區也其上石壁最高處宋張勵觀音道場六大字并元刻造像數種 East of the Lingyansi [Buddhist] Temple, the rushing water of the Ganlu spring washes the stones and its pure sound cleanses the troubled mind. Old trees rise unevenly into the sky; terraces and pavilions grace the deep forest. This is truly the most scenic spot. A Song-Dynasty inscription of six large characters "Zhang Li's 'Cultivation Field [dedicated to] Guanyin" appears on the uppermost part of the stone cliff, along with some sculpted [Buddhist] images of the Yuan period.
