Quatrain of Seven Steps - 七步诗

煮豆燃豆萁，
豆在釜中泣。
本是同根生，
相煎何太急?

Boiling the beans to create the soup,
filtering them to extract the juice.
The beanstalks were charred amidst the flames,
and of this the beans thus wailed:
"Borne are we of the same root, brothers two;
should you now burn me with such disregard?"
.............................................

When a man speaks, his eyes betray his intentions.
His actions define his generousity,
When you give to your God, do not be like the Pharisees who go about boasting of their "great" contributions.
Have you ever look back and have "conscience" ?
A wise man will speak in clear direct words.
Speaking in riddles do not mask thy shallowness of thoughts.
A simple monk sweeping floor can attain Enlightenment.
The time will come when you have to face a war.
Beware of the time when your shouts for help will go unheeded.
For such befits the evilness in the heart.
The wayward son can still go back....hearken! lest it grows short...



LET HE WHO HAVE EARS, LET HIM HEAR.
