Three thousand years of history speak of fame and fortune;
A journey of ninety thousand miles leads back to poetry, wine, and fields.
Do not carry arrogance, but never lose your spine.
Arrogance weakens; integrity strengthens.
Seek within yourself. Cultivate a skill, nurture an independent mind, and hold your own thoughts.
Only then can you live with ease.
Live with a detached heart, yet act with full engagement.
Let compassion guide your soul, nature shape your character, and grace define your conduct.
Skill in your hands, ability in your being, wisdom in your mind—
This is how you see the world with generosity and live life with serenity.
True wisdom lies not afar, but deep within.
When you turn inward, the world makes way for you.
