A handwritten book is a book?
and received a response of:
52 Stilling
The Statement of the first hexagram
One stills one's back
and does not move one's body.
There is movement in one's courtyard,
but one does not see one's people.
No fault.
The changing lines
The first line:
Stilling one's feet. No fault.
Gain through everlasting virtue.
The third line:
Stilling one's waist.
Splitting the muscles of the back.
Cruelty smokes one's heart.
The fifth line:
Stilling his jaws.
Speech is orderly.
Regrets vanish.
The sixth line:
Deep and honest stillness.
Fortunate.
3 Sprouting
The Statement of the second hexagram
Sprouting begins everywhere,
abundant and pure.
No need to go far:
gain by naming allies.
The Image of the first hexagram
Doubled mountains:
stillness.
The noble one
does not consider matters
beyond his position.
The Image of the second hexagram
Clouds and thunder: sprouting. The noble one
considers the principles.
