"... For those who emphasise ritual ...."

… For those who emphasize ritual inspire little trust,

but this is the beginning of disorder.

Diviners make Tao flowery,

and this is the beginning of foolishness.

This is why the superior person deals with the profound

and does not dwell on the superficial

He deals with the solid,

and does not dwell on the flowery.

Therefore he takes that and leaves this.

Lao Tzu

"There is no flower that lasts ..."

There is no flower that lasts ten days and no might lasts ten years.

Korean saying

"Keep your heart clear ...."

Keep your heart clear

And transparent,

And you will

Never be bound.

A single disturbed thought

Creates ten thousand distractions.
