Small future fortune
中正方成道
姦邪恐惹愆
壺中盛妙薬
非久去煩煎
In English
- Keep to the center and the way is made
- crooked thoughts are feared to bring mistakes
- a fine remedy is held inside the jar
- before long the worries fade away
- Meaning
- As Small future fortune, the poem keeps its promise modest: a straight, balanced path opens the way, and crooked thinking brings mistakes. Like a good remedy kept in a jar, the worry will not last long, so holding to the right way and waiting is enough.
- What to do today
- Pick one task where a shortcut is tempting, and do it carefully the usual way.
- A word from the capybara
- Walking in a straight line leads right to the hot spring.
The explanations added by each temple differ. The poems and fortunes follow an Edo-period printed edition.
