Thirty-Fifth Hexagram
The Sun shines down
upon the Earth:
Constantly honing
and refining his brilliance,
the Superior Person
is a Godsend to his people.
They repay his benevolence
with a herd of horses,
and he is granted audience
three times in a single day.
Promotion.

Changing Lines
Line Six
Though politically perilous,
it is wiser to put infidels
within your own city walls
to the sword,
rather than lead a Crusade
to convert faraway lands.
Line Five
Advancing along this path
will prove rewarding
if you don't lose your focus
with visions of success
or failure.
Line Four
Scurrying like a mouse.
Such blind panic
increases the danger.
Line Three
He is chosen unanimously
to carry out
the will of the people.
All self-doubt vanishes.
Line Two
You advance in sorrow,
but this path
leads to good fortune.
Accept the boon
of a wise woman.
Line One
Meet their distrust
with tolerance
and benevolence;
such graciousness
will wear away
any heart of stone.
