Nurture emptiness.
Hold on to stillness.
Watch the 10,000 things unfold,
And thus observe the cycles.

All things flourish and bloom,
And then each one returns to its seed.
In this return is stillness.
In stillness is the understanding of true nature.

Understanding true nature is to become eternal and insightful.
Misunderstanding leads to error and misfortune.

Being insightful makes one tolerant.
Tolerance leads to impartiality.
Impartiality leads to the sublime.
The sublime leads to the universal.
The universal is one with true nature.

Being in accord with true nature is to be eternal.
Losing acquired conditioning one is free from error.
