Backward is Actually Forward – 退步原來是向前

手把青秧插满田

低头便见水中天

身心清静方为道

退步原來是向前

Planting a handful of green rice shoots allover
paddy field,

While bending my head down, I saw the sky in
the paddy water.

The path to practice is to keep oneself mentally
and physically in peace and serene.

Realize that while walking backward is actually
practice forward.
