The 100 Guanyin lots

Lot 50 of 100

Boats sail all five lakes and the four seas

The poem

五湖四海盡行船高掛風帆把舵堅幸得順風隨所至滿船寶貝稱心田

In English

Boats sail all five lakes and the four seas.Hoist the sail high and hold the rudder firm.With luck, a favorable wind takes you where you are headed,and the boat is full of treasures that please the heart.

What it says

Sailing out over lakes and seas stands for undertakings. Raise the sail but hold the rudder steady. A favorable wind carries you to your destination with a boat full of good things. Make use of the wind while keeping your course and preparation, rather than relying on luck alone.

A thought to take with you

Use the favorable wind, but keep a firm hand on your own course.
