Mazu Poem24 |

The moon rises, illuminating the four seas.The moonlight illuminates the four seas, bright and clear.The future is bright and positions are secure.The future and fame will turn dangers into safety and will not be affected.The floating clouds have cleared away, and there is nothing left.The floating clouds that cover the moon will eventually disperse, and all will be well.One can avoid calamities from befalling oneself.The gods will bless, and disasters will not come.

Although we are currently facing difficulties, with the protection of the deities, disasters will not befall us. In the end, just like the floating clouds that obscure the moon dissipating, the moonlight illuminates everywhere, allowing the difficulties to be resolved. The future and official positions can turn peril into safety, leading to peace and tranquility. This poem signifies that after experiencing perilous situations, one can attain safety and escape danger through divine protection.If asked about the timing being "the moon rising," it refers to the 15th day of the lunar month or the Mid-Autumn Festival. However, it can also be thought of in the direction of encountering difficulties that can be resolved with the help of a female benefactor.
