The Path

“The path may not be left for an instant.”

The line

The line comes from the Doctrine of the Mean, in James Legge's translation in The Chinese Classics (1893), a text of the Confucian tradition.

The words appear exactly as that translation gives them. The translation is in the public domain, and the text itself is in The Sacred Act’s library.

Shipping and returns

Your piece is made when you order it and ships within 2 to 7 business days, and embroidered pieces take the longer end of that. Delivery takes 5 to 12 business days in the United States, where shipping is complimentary, and 8 to 25 elsewhere, for a flat $20.
