A priceless treasure lies hidden in the cabinet
The poem
櫝藏無價寶和珍只管他鄉外處尋好似將燈來覔火不如安靜莫勞心
In English
A priceless treasure lies hidden in the cabinet,yet you keep searching for it in other places far away.It is like carrying a lamp to look for fire.Better to stay quiet and spare your heart the labor.
What it says
A priceless treasure sits in the cabinet at home while you search elsewhere, like holding a lamp and looking for fire. The poem suggests that what you seek may already be near you or within you. Settling down may serve you better than running about.
A thought to take with you
Take stock of what you already have before you go looking elsewhere.
