Eight Poems of the Fist
The mind is one with heaven and earth.
The circulatory rhythm of the body is similar to that of the sun and the moon.
The way of inhaling and exhaling is hard and soft.
Act in accordance with time and change.
Techniques occur in the absence of conscious thought.
The feet advance and retreat, separate and meet.
The eyes must watch all four directions.
The ears listen in all eight directions.
