Clear thoughts
With thoughts clear,
Sitting silently,
Wander into the center
Of the circle of wonder.

What does it matter,
The new year, the old year?
I stretch out my legs
And all alone have a
Quiet sleep.

Now
it’s all you have
Undertake difficult tasks
by approaching what is easy in them;
Do great deeds
by focusing on their minute aspects.
All difficulties under heaven arise from what is easy,
All great things under heaven arise from what is
minute.
Day and night,
Everything is wonderful.
Nothing you encounter confuses you.
These are the essentials of mind.
