| Waterlilies |
everyone says the way is great but, well, a little silly |
it's because it's great that it seems silly |
if it seemed serious it would end up tiny |
|
| I have three treasures: |
I guard them very carefully. |
|||
| the first is compassion |
the second is frugality |
the third not daring to be first |
||
| being compassionate I can be brave |
being frugal I can be generous |
not
being first, I can run the rest |
||
| bravery without compassion |
generosity without thrift |
leading without following |
these lead to death |
|
| compassion wins in attack, holds your ground-- |
heaven defends you using your own compassion |
