The 100 Guanyin lots

Lot 14 of 100

Like an immortal crane let out of its cage

The poem

宛如仙鶴出樊籠脫却羈縻處處通南北東西無障碍任君直上九霄中

In English

Like an immortal crane let out of its cage,you shed the bonds and every path opens.North, south, east, and west, nothing blocks you.Go straight up into the ninth heaven as you please.

What it says

A crane leaving its cage stands for being freed from restraint. The poem says no direction is blocked and you may rise as high as you like. It is an open, buoyant lot, though freedom is most useful when you also have a direction in mind.

A thought to take with you

Once you are free of what held you back, choose a direction worth flying toward.
