The Yellow Garden Sutra is a Taoist text that explains the process of becoming an Immortal.
Four and eighty years of age;
nor man nor ghost nor Immortal!
No power in my legs; a constant faller.
No strength in my eyes; asleep as soon as I sit.
Thoughts and words are all dotty.
Breath is the thread that holds life together.
Sorrow, hurt, joy, pleasure—all are fuzzy feelings;
from time to time I read the Yellow Garden Sutra.
