Form Description:
This instrument is a "Long Pin of the Parting Leaf."
The core of its "form" 'is' 'a' "golden-brown Bodhi leaf," "gracefully falling" 'in' the "autumn wind."
Its "withering" 'is' 'not' "decay," 'but' 'the' "mark" 'of' "completion."
'It' 'has' 'already' "internalized" 'its' "entire life's sunlight" 'within' 'its' "veins,"
'and' 'is' 'now' 'preparing' 'to' "return" 'its' "body," 'in' 'its' 'entirety,' "back to the earth."
Ritual of Creation:
This instrument 'is' the "requiem" 'composed' 'by' the 'artisan' 'for' "life's final chapter."
'When' 'resonating' 'with' the 'essence' of 'Detachment,' 'what' the 'artisan' 'felt' 'was' 'not' "sorrow," 'but' "absolute peace" 'and' "freedom."
Thus, 'they' 'infused' 'this' "serenity" 'into' 'their' "fingertips,"
'creating' 'this' "sacred object" 'that' 'symbolizes' "ultimate wisdom" 'and' "graceful release."
Detachment is the 'final form' of 'wisdom.' It 'is,' 'after' 'experiencing' 'all,' 'bidding farewell' 'to' the 'world' 'with' "love," 'not' "weariness." Like the "Bodhi leaf," 'after' 'completing' 'a' "lifetime of photosynthesis," 'peacefully' "returning to the earth." It 'is' "absolute freedom." The "withering" of the "Bodhi" is 'not' "death," 'but' 'the' "farewell" 'after' "completion." Detachment 'is,' 'after' "playing" 'all' of "life's" "roles," 'taking' a "graceful" "curtain call" 'with' "wisdom" and "compassion." Wear It, 'to' 'affirm' 'and' 'practice' the "lesson" 'of' "graceful letting go," 'to' 'attain' "ultimate" "spiritual freedom."

Tracing the Origin of the Divine Essence
-
Visit"【Butterfly Dream】's wisdom, allowed, me, to stop 'questioning'. I, no longer, tried, to 'understand' this 'world', but, instead, chose, 'to become' this 'world'. I, experienced 'everything', and, accepted 'everything'. My, 'satchel' (Xing-Nang), is, full. My, 'journey' (Lu-Tu), is, at its end.
I, thought, I, no longer, had any 'confusion' (Kun-Huo).
However, when, I, stood, at, this 'finish line' (Zhong-Dian), looking back, at, the 'splendor' (Cui-Can) of this 'entire year', that 'last attachment' (Zhi-Zhuo), arose. I, was reluctant to part (She-Bu-De).
When, we, have experienced 'such a bountiful' (Feng-Sheng) 'journey', how, can we, 'elegantly' (You-Ya) 'let go' (Fang-Xia)? That, 'ultimate wisdom' (Zhong-Ji-Zhi-Hui), which, allows us, when the 'song ends and the guests depart' (Qu-Zhong-Ren-San), to feel, not 'loss' (Shi-Luo), but 'Completion' (Yuan-Man) ... what, is it?
This, is, the 'Riddle' (Mi-Ti), I, have come, on this journey, to ask of the 【Detachment】 (Chu-Li) Temple."
