If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.

To give birth, to nourish, to bear and not to own, to act and not lay claim, to lead and not to rule: this is mysterious power. --Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching, trans. Ursula K. Le Guin

“Be content with what you have;
rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking,
the whole world belongs to you.”

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like. Lao Tzu

Have patience. Wait until the mud settles and the water is clear. Remain unmoving until right action arises by itself.

If you want to become whole, let yourself be partial.
If you want to become straight, let yourself be crooked.
If you want to become full, let yourself be empty.
If you want to be reborn, let yourself die.
If you want to be given everything, give everything up.

Dàshèng gets the heart attack of his (immortal) lifetime as his son, Little Reborn, is bonked in the head while playing pretend.
It's safe to say Reborn wouldn't be playing pretend for a little while :')

(For context: this is an AU where the Monkey King Reborn from the 2021 movie is the son of the Great Sage/Dàshèng from the 2015 movie, with a lot of twists! And extra characters!)
(We'll uncover more as we get along, but for now I'll be showing the fluff side for a bit lol.)

Simplify the personality, refine the sexual energy upward, integrate yin and yang in body, mind, and spirit, practice non-impulsiveness, make your conscience one with pure law, and you will uncover truth after truth and enter the exquisite upper realm.
