The 100 Guanyin lots

Lot 100 of 100

You want to go east, you want to go west

The poem

欲就東兮欲就西逢人說事轉痴迷登山不見神仙面莫若歸休更勿提

In English

You want to go east, you want to go west,and the more you tell others, the more confused you become.You climb the mountain and do not see the immortal;better to return and rest, and speak of it no more.

What it says

You waver between east and west, and the more you discuss it with others, the more confused you grow. You climb the mountain looking for an immortal and find none, so it may be better to go home, rest, and drop the subject. When you cannot decide, stop seeking answers outside and settle in a quiet place.

A thought to take with you

When you feel lost, stop asking everyone and return to a quiet place to settle your mind.
