Making vows in the empty air, forming bonds with people
The poem
虛空結愿結人緣保得人安愿未還得兔忘蹄真絕跡敢將初誓謾輕瞞
In English
Making vows in the empty air, forming bonds with people,you kept someone safe but the vow is not yet fulfilled.Having caught the rabbit, forgetting the snare is a loss of the trace;how dare you treat the first oath lightly?
What it says
The poem concerns vows made: someone was kept safe, but the promise has not been fulfilled. 'Forgetting the snare after catching the rabbit' stands for forgetting what helped you once you succeed. It reminds you to honor commitments and gratitude.
A thought to take with you
Think of any promise or thanks still owed, and make time to honor it.
