63. After the End · 既濟 九五

Line 5 of hexagram 63

In practice

If your actions come from the heart and are genuine, a small action can bring great results.

The poetry

The eastern neighbor slaughters an ox; it is not worth the simple offering of the western neighbor, who truly receives the blessing.

九五:東鄰殺牛,不如西鄰之禴祭,實受其福。

象曰:東鄰殺牛,不如西鄰之時也;實受其福,吉大來也。
