"In life, seek no
heaven;
In death, fear no
hell.
Enter the woods
without disturbing a blade of grass;
Enter the water
without making waves.
Meet the enlightened
one on the street;
Do not greet him with
words nor silence.
For so long, like a
bird in a cage;
Now fly free like a
cloud in the blue sky.
Hold the hoe with
empty hands;
Ride the ox by
standing on your own feet."
