📜 Bonisa izaguqulelo (Wang Bi · Legge · AI Modern)
James Legge (1891)
Men come forth and live; they enter (again) and die. Of every ten three are ministers of life (to themselves); and three are ministers of death. But I have heard that he who is skilful in managing the life entrusted to him for a time travels on the land without having to shun rhinoceros or tiger, and enters a host without having to avoid buff coat or sharp weapon. Because there is in him no place of death.
