---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

West

Mouth closed
Arms, flexed, prepared
Legs taught, standing solid
eyes, focused

Purify heart, present incense
Bring courage, leave fear at gate

power
thought
know you

Enter, empty
Depart, in peace

 

East

Mouth open
Fist, closed, defending
Angled hand ready for trouble
head, alert

Prepare self, purge impurities
Bring humility, leave desire at gate

strength
meditation
feeling you

Enter, with trouble
Depart, in emptiness
