ONT "Born Nothing, Fear Nothing" Tee

The Way of the High Pile

Those who stand on nothing, stand in a realm devoid of matter; their minds are still, and their bodies are naturally stable.
Though there is no solid ground, their feet do not falter; though they are at a great height, they feel as if treading on level ground.
The plum blossom piles are as narrow as an inch of earth, yet with a calm mind and harmonious spirit, one feels as if sitting upon the vast emptiness.
This is not merely a technique, but a practice; not only control of the body, but also tranquility of the mind.

Those who walk without fear know well that the path ahead holds many dangers, yet they never cease their steps.
Those who fear heights do not climb; those who fear falling do not leap; those who fear making mistakes do not advance.
Only the fearless can turn in mid-air, dancing with the wind.
To know the danger yet not be afraid, to see the difficulty yet not retreat, this is true courage.

We stand on nothing - yet never fall.
Where ground ends - we begin.

Though the body has nothing to lean on, the mind remains unbowed;
Where the earth ends, our path begins.
