Song of I Llq Chuan

Below is our official translation, however one of my students was kind enough to have a non martial artist friend translate. I have found it helpful to shed some light on a very challenging read.

I Liq Chuan Book Cover

"To depict the ultimate principles
of the universal laws of
no truth and no untruth state,

The mind should be observed
with awareness

To adapt to the vicissitude of
time and space to no
present and no unpresent state,

force should be harmonized
with awareness."

Non Martial Artist Translation

Force shall be applied harmonically in such a way that it seems to be present and it seems to be absent, which needs to be in consistence with the spatial and temporal changes.

Consciousness (Yi) guides us in such a way that it is not true (you shall not completely trust it or be completely guided by it) and it is not fake (you shall not completely not trust it). The consciousness (Yi) shall be used to explain the universal Truth.
