Hexagram 32 · Continuing

Continuing

Thunder above · Wind below

Traditional palace notation: 震宫 · 三世卦

Continuity comes from a purpose that can survive changes in method. Keep commitments that remain sound, while adjusting habits that no longer serve them. Endurance is more than repeating yesterday; it involves knowing what is worth carrying forward.

A question in mind. A moment to reflect.

Hexagram text · Classical Chinese (untranslated)

恒:亨,无咎。利贞,利有攸往。

Tuan commentary · Classical Chinese

彖曰:恒,久也。刚上而柔下,雷风相与,巽而动,刚柔皆应,恒。恒亨无咎,利贞;久于其道也,天地之道,恒久而不已也。利有攸往,终则有始也。日月得天,而能久照,四时变化,而能久成,圣人久于其道,而天下化成;观其所恒,而天地万物之情可见矣!

Image commentary · Classical Chinese

象曰:雷风,恒;君子以立不易方。
