 Punishment and torture may reach gain-seekers but\\

+### 2. The stalwart old stork...
+昻藏老鶴 雖飢 飲啄猶閒 肯同雞鶩之營營 而競食，\\
+偃蹇寒松 縱老 丰標自在 豈似桃李之灼灼 而競妍。
+The stalwart old stork, though it may starve,\\
+ is placid as it pecks at water and food;\\
+ for how could it vie hither and thither to eat\\
+ as mundane flocks of chicken and duck?\\
+The winter pine that stands apart, though aged,\\
+ is its own master crowned with luxuriant growth;\\
+ scarce would it boast for pride of place\\
+ like the glowing blooms of flowering minds.
+### 3.Our hearts may be content...
+吾人適志于花柳爛熳之時 得趣于笙歌騰沸之處\\
+乃是造化之幻境 人心之蕩念也，\\
+須從木落草枯之後 向聲希味淡之中 覓得一些消息，\\
+纔是乾坤的橐籥 人物的根宗。
+Our hearts may be content with the seasons\\
+ of radiant blossoms and trees, and\\
+We may find passions stirred where\\
+ music and song leap and foment\\
+Yet this is merely the mirage of the Universe\\
+ and the fancy of the human mind.\\
+When trees have shed and life has withered\\
+ in the ensuing quiet and the calm\\
+ listen for a subtle murmur of a tiding\\
+For this indeed is the bellows of Sky and Earth,\\
+ the root and source of folk and creation.
+### 4. Once you see through...
+看破有盡身軀 萬境之塵緣自息，\\
+悟入無壞境界 一輪之心月獨明。
+Once you see through your own mortality,\\
+ every worldly fetter dissipates on its own.\\
+Once you are enlightened into a state of eternity,\\
+ the fullness of the heart-moon shines alone.
