The sutra

When an archer is shooting for fun

He has all his skill.

If he shoots for a brass buckle

He is already nervous.

If he shoots for a prize of gold

He goes blind

Or sees two targets --

He is out of his mind.

His skill has not changed,

But the prize divides him.

He cares.

He thinks more of winning

Than of shooting --

And the need to win

Drains him of power.
