# The Song of Anahim Lake

In the vast, untamed wilderness of Chilcotin, spanning twenty-five thousand square kilometers,

You shine like a radiant sapphire, emitting dazzling light.

You are the resting place for flowing waters,

Where the snowmelt from the Coast Mountains pauses before continuing its journey to the vast Pacific Ocean.

&#x20;

On windless days, you are as still as the void, reflecting all the myriad forms of life,

In gentle breezes, your emerald waves dance like a young girl gracefully twirling,

When fierce winds arise, you roar like a wild stallion, thundering with massive waves,

No wind, gentle breeze, or howling storm—you are ever-changing, boundless like the Dharma.

&#x20;

Nestled in the wilderness, you hold the world’s myriad winds and clouds within your grasp,

Rarely visited by humans, you perceive the transformations of the world with clarity.

Oh, Anahim Lake! You are a miracle on Earth,

A mirror reflecting the past and future of the human realm.

To be by your side is to step into the river of history,

To soar across the stage of time and space.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://en.chanyuan8.org/poems/the-song-of-anahim-lake.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
