Carrying a bowl filled with alms from a thousand households, I am a lone monk with a bamboo cane who has traveled ten thousand miles; knowing that all comes and goes according to causes and conditions, when causes and conditions dissipate I let go of what's in both hands.

20 放下不等放棄,是為脫困,是為提起;要能放下才能提起,提放自如是自在人。
Letting go is not giving up, rather it helps one take on new challenges. One cannot take on anything without first letting go. One who can take on and let go of anything in peace is truly free.
