The skillful musician becomes
the hands of the composer he doesn't impose himself on the work.
The skillful artist fashions
his work with such integrity
that it seems as if it were
born whole.
The skillful writer constructs
his story in such way
that it becomes a living
experience in the mind of the reader.
The mastercraftsman not only
is a master of his art
He is ready to impart his
knowlege to any that
wish to learn.
He leaves no one behind.
He uses all circumstances
in life to achieve his end
and abandons nothing.
This is known as becoming
the creative light.
Therefore the mastercraftsman
is a teacher
to the students of his craft
The artistic personalities
of the students
become as living sculptures
that he shapes and forms.
If you are a student of some
artistic craft,
respect your teacher, allow
yourself to be open
to learning all he can teach
you.
If you are a teacher, take
all care
with your students as with
your finest work.
If students refuse to be
taught, if mastercraftsman
will not be bothered with
teaching,both are straying
from the path of harmony
no matter their intelegence or talent.
This is a most essencial
principle.
