處世曾無著 生前事盡非
一瓶兼一衲 南北去如歸
In my previous life I was uncertain about my conduct of life, and I have done a lot of wrong things
One bottle of wine and a monk's robe, everywhere I feel like returning home

(Citation from the late Tang Dynasty poet Yue Xing's (薛瑩) poem titled "Envy of the Monk" (羡僧)
杞人於癸酉年冩之 - Painted by Qiren* in the Year of Water-Rooster (1993)

*Qiren 杞人(憂天) - Man of Qi (fears of the sky falling) → Man of groundless fears - `Pseudonym
