李卓吾先生批評西遊記 (Journey to the West), Vol. 1

Where my commentary catches the eye, it is not merely about profound truths of life and death, but about the essential words of the body and mind.
Quietly regarding common sayings, such as "There are no difficult things in the world, one only fears the determined heart," this is a ten-character maxim. One must also rely on the lamp?. Opening a book is always beneficial; do not view this as common literature. This intention whether or not my heart agrees can be understood. If one enters into it, the ancients had a rhythm. Thick ink reads the Thousand Character Classic.
