Heaven

Interpreting the six lines of Heaven in terms of Buddhism, a
dragon is something that has spiritual capacity and adaptive
creativity --- a metaphor for the buddha-nature.

In the stage where one practices mediations to buddha-nautre, one should
continuously direct one's vitality to advancing in this exercise, so one
"works by day and is wary at night."

In the stage where one conforms to buddha-nature, one does not hold
religious attachment, an imitative path, ans do one "may leap in the abyss."

Speaking solely in terms of cultivating inner qualities, yang is the
quality of knowledge; this is the practice of insight. The infertile insight
of beginners needs concentration to balance it --- it should not be used
alone.

At the peak, the characteristics of knowledge and insight
connot be apprehended, cannot be grasped.

At the peak, the dragon has regret.
