Heaven, guide him to cultivate ren (benevolence) and yi (righteousness) in his love. May he practice li (propriety), honor family and ancestors, and show sincere respect to his partner. Grant him wisdom from the sages to act with humility, foster harmony, and steady the heart.

John — may he find steady strength in each breath and clarity in hard moments. May resilience rise within him, turning setbacks into steps forward. May courage and calm guide him, and may he feel supported as he carries on.

May all men pause to notice the small, steady gifts in their lives—breath, health, friendships, and quiet moments. May gratitude warm their hearts, steady their patience, and inspire acts of care toward others. May they carry this thankful spirit into each day, sharing what they have and finding peace in enough.
