Better Swallow Your Ignorance

Cautionary Poem

If I die, do not follow me

If you follow me, I will increase your suffering

If you follow and find me in hell

I will ask the Ruler of hell

To double your furnace seven times

Better, remain on earth

 

If I die, do not follow me

If you follow me, I deprive you of your blessing

If you follow and find me in heaven

I will ask the President of Heaven

To deduct your blessings seventy-seven times

Better, remain in the world

 

If I die, do not follow me

If you follow me, I will expose your identity to the ancestors

If you follow and find me in the ancestral worlds

I will ask the ancestral intelligence

To cast you out into the wanderlands

Better, remain in the space
