The 100 Guanyin lots

Lot 36 of 100

Do not worry about illness or lawsuits right now

The poem

目前病訟不須憂實地資財儘可求恰好繫猿金脫鎖得歸仙洞去來遊

In English

Do not worry about illness or lawsuits right now;you may well seek solid resources.Just as the tied monkey slips free of its golden chain,it returns to its fairy cave to roam.

What it says

The poem says not to worry too much about present troubles such as illness or disputes, and to focus on practical resources. The image of the chained monkey slipping free suggests release and freedom. It is a soothing lot about worry, though it does not replace professional help when it is needed.

A thought to take with you

Reduce some anxiety, put energy into what can actually be done, and seek professional help when needed.
