In A Mind Clear As Still Water,

What Is Reality? An Icicle Forming In Fire.

If You Cannot Find The Truth Right Where You Are, Where Else Do You Expect To Find It?

Yet You Must Not Cling To The Words Of The Old Sages Either; They, Too, May Not Be Right. Even If You Believe Them, You Should Be Alert So That, In The Event That Something Superior Comes Along, You May Follow That.

Cease From Practice Based On Intellectual Understanding, Pursuing Words, And Following After Speech.

To What Shall I Liken The World? Moonlight, Reflected In Dewdrops, Shaken From A Crane's Bill.
