Empty your mind of all thoughts
Let your heart be at peace
Watch the turmoil of beings,
But contemplate their return.
Each separate being in the universe
Returns to the common source
Returning to the source is serenity
If you don't realize the source,
You stumble in confusion and sorrow.
When you realize where you come from,
You naturally become tolerant,
disinterested, amused, Kindhearted as a grandmother,
dignified as a king.
Immersed in the wonder of the great Tao,
You can deal with whatever life brings you,
And when the afterlife comes, you are ready.
LAO TSU.
