Ink-Scented Patina

Cultivation of immortality is essentially the illumination of human nature by a streetlight on the long road of life. Those who are infatuated will regret it for the rest of their lives. Those who are greedy for materialistic souls will die first in the body. Those who have obsessions will be penetrated by their obsessions first. Those who regard their cultivation as their fate will ultimately be no different from the death of birds and beasts. There is no right or wrong in this, it is just a choice of how to die. The road to cultivating immortality is very long, long enough to make a person feel strange to himself. This road can also be very short, so short that even a single guilt cannot be forgotten. The road to immortality is long and I hope all fellow Taoists will have no regrets.
