Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend?!?/P>
放空你的思想,透明的、無定形的、像水一樣,如果你將水放入杯子,它就變成杯子的形狀;你將水放入瓶子,它就變成瓶子的形狀;你把水放入茶杯中,它就變成茶杯的形狀;水可以柔軟的流動,也可以堅硬的凝結,像水一樣吧,我的朋友。
