Notes:

1. How could there be a perfect solution to meet the demands of reality and give her love too: This is the last line from a love poem written by a Tibetan Buddhist monk and as you know Buddhist monks are not allowed to marry so the poem talks about how if he chooses to fall in love, he will betray Buddha, but if he chose Buddha then he will betray love.
2. Heaven’s son should guard the door to the country, if the country perishes so will he: this is another famous saying that describes the fall of the Ming dynasty, where in desperation, the last emperor of the Ming dynasty moved his capital closer to the borders and then when the mongols invaded the kingdom perished and he was killed too.
3. Adding wings to the tiger: It’s a saying that describes making something more powerful like making an already powerful tiger able to fly.
