Foyin Meets Su Dongpo佛印會東坡
Free of worry, sitting quietly at ease;
after a meal, a cup of tea, resting when you wish.
Let your body and mind be unhurried,
and surely no wrong or trouble will come.
English rendering: our editorial version.
Peace comes from simplicity. Avoid rushing; stay content with what is stable.
詩意:此卦守舊安然之象。凡事時待時則吉也。
解曰:守舊安然。叩問神仙。直待時來。事亦偶然。
另本 Variant:清閑無事靜處坐,飢時吃飯困時臥,放下身心不用忙,必定不遭殃與禍。
Foyin Meets Su Dongpo
Su Dongpo wrote a verse claiming the eight winds of praise and blame could not move him and sent it to his friend the monk Foyin. Foyin wrote back one rude word. Su rowed across the river in a fury, and Foyin laughed: "Eight winds could not move you, but one fart blew you across the river."
Comfortable and easy; no need for grand gestures.
Listen more, speak less; do your job well.
This lot invites care with money: keep what you have. Regular income is fine; speculation is not. Treat money moves as personal judgement, not a prediction.
This lot invites gentle attention to wellbeing: small complaints settle with regular meals, sleep and routine. For anything lasting, see a qualified practitioner — this is reflection, not a diagnosis.
A peaceful home. Keep it tidy and do small kindnesses.
Travellers return safely. Unhurried trips do you good.
Perhaps not recovered; let it go.
This lot invites patience with disputes: settle. The longer it runs, the more both sides lose face. A qualified adviser beats any oracle for binding matters.
