The Art of Peace #45

If your opponent strikes with fire,
counter with water, becoming completely fluid and free-flowing.
Water, by its very nature, never collides with or breaks against anything.
On the contrary, it swallows up any attack harmlessly.

Functioning harmoniously together,
right and left give birth to all techniques.
The left hand takes hold of life and death,
the right hand controls it.
The four limbs of the body are the four pillars of heaven, and manifest the eight directions,
yin and yang, outer and inner.

Manifest yang
in your right hand,
Balance it with
The yin of your left,
And guide your partner.
