Out The Door

Translation by Tree Buffalo


Without going out the door, know the world.

Without looking out the window, perceive Nature’s Way.

Because the farther you go, the less you know.

This is how wise people understand without traveling, and name things without seeing them.

They do nothing, and succeed.
