Pleasure comes from the unattainable, delight from the attainable, and passion from the beloved—this is the essence of erotic science.
I neither know whether to praise nor condemn the creator who made you so extraordinary—unlike any speech or standard description.
This world is rootless, devoid of true treasure, lightless, mortal-dependent, and unworthy of clinging—why did the Creator make it so?
This world is as hollow as a plantain stem, fleeting as lightning—life is unstable and ever-distracted.
The one who utters noble speech distills essence from a world of hollowness—good speech is the mark of the virtuous.
