Not afraid of rain
Not afraid of wind
Not afraid of winter snow
and scorching heat
There is one A strong body
Have no desires or demands
Never get angry
Always smile calmly
Eat half a liter of black rice a day
p>And miso and a few vegetables
About everything
Not overthinking
Listen more and see more
Insights and memories
Living in the shade of wild pine trees
A small thatched house
If a child is sick in the east
Go and take care of it
>If there is a mother in the west who is tired
Go and help her carry the rice sheaves
If there is someone in the south who is dying
Go and tell him not to be afraid
If there is a quarrel or conflict in the north
Just say it's boring and please stop
Cry in tears during drought
Restless in cold summer
< p> Everyone calls me a foolI won’t be praised
I won’t suffer either
I want to be
such a person
