 Changing Our Karma


As a bee in gathering honey, 

tastes the flower

but does not harm its color or scent, 

so, brethren, you may accept 

just enough of 

people's offerings to avoid distress.  

Don't have many demands 

and thereby break their good hearts. 

Wise men, for example, having judged the capacity 

of their animals' strength, do not wear them out 

by overloading them.
