GUANYIN ORACLE LOT 31
Foyin Meets Dongpo
Do not disturb yourself and do not be tempted. Waiting is favorable, discipline brings peace, and the timing is not yet ready.
ORACLE VERSE
Translated verse
Sit quietly in leisure, without worry.
After eating, drink tea, sometimes sitting, sometimes lying down.
Put down body and mind, and do not rush.
Then resentment and disaster will not be invited.
Original Chinese verse
清闲无忧静处坐，饱后喝茶时坐卧； 放下身心不用忙，必定不招冤与祸。
ALLUSION
Story allusion
Foyin was Xie Duanqing, later named Liaoyuan by Emperor Shenzong of Song and known as Foyin. Su Dongpo once tried to tempt him back to lay life, but Foyin remained unmoved and often awakened Dongpo with Buddhist teaching. The story warns against stirring trouble when there is none and against acting in haste.
