9. Don't Stay

[Chapter 9 / English Translation]
You had better stop keeping it filled up.

If you hammer and sharpen it, you cannot keep it long.

No one can protect gold and jade safely if they fill a hall.

If you are haughty when you are rich and noble, you are asking for calamity.

When your task is completed, you retire.

That's Tao of heaven.

Don't saturate your hologram. You should stop being stuck in there.

If you are sharp and brilliant, it is hard for you to be one with Tao.

Remember everything you see is your hologram.

If you are proud of being rich and famous, it will be difficult for you to accept the fact that it is a hologram, that is to say, an illusion.

You can play in your hologram. But don't forget what it is. It is a catalyst that stimulates you to emit the fundamental energy called Tao.

The hologram is a manifestation of Tao the fundamental energy. You should cherish it through the world around you, which is your hologram.

Read Yama Uba the Zen play

☞The people in the country of the rising sun love the decline of something as much. Osamu Dazai 太宰治 wrote «The Setting Sun / Shayo 斜陽» to tell us about the "do nothing" attitude of an aristocratic family. "Winning means little if it looks ugly." Yasunari Kawabata 川端康成 informs us of the words of «The Master of Go / Meijin 名人». Go 碁 is often called Igo 囲碁 in Japanese.
