A Life You Need Not Regret

Reflection

The verse begins, “Many men whose shoulders are covered with the yellow gown are ill-conditioned and unrestrained.” In its chapter, this image points toward actions and the consequences they set in motion. The water imagery emphasizes accumulation: a mind and a life are shaped by many small conditions, not one dramatic moment. Because this is a historic English translation, test the teaching in experience rather than treating its wording as a demand for belief.
