In the mountains, one fears not the tiger, but the two-faced nature of human hearts.
A tiger may be fierce, yet it can be avoided. But the human heart—hidden, layered, unpredictable—is far more dangerous. Those closest to you may become your betrayers.
Amid life’s complexities, hold fast to your conscience. Practice loyalty—loyal to yourself, to others, to your duties. Ask yourself daily: Have I been faithful in my work? Have I been true to my word?
Do not be disturbed by the ways of the world. A weasel steals; a dog eats filth—such is their nature. Why let it anger you? See clearly, walk the middle path, and guide others with compassion.
In this fleeting life, keep your integrity, steady your heart, and walk through storms with grace.
