Mold clay into a bowl. The empty space makes it useful.
The softest in the world surpasses the hardest in the world.
Live simply and virtuously, true to your nature, drawing no line between what is spiritual and what is not.
Giving to others selflesly and anonymously, radiating light throughout the world and illuminating your own darkness, your virtue becomes a sanctuary for yourself and all beings.
Great, it passes on (in constant flow).
The sage acts by doing nothing.
