Translate this Chinese text from the Legend of Korra?

[Searose]

In the show the character, Zaheer, picks up the locket in the picture attachment and reads it out as: “Let go of your earthly tether, enter the void, empty and become wind.”

 

 

For more context behind this, the inscription in the locket are the words of the character, Guru Laghima, who in the show was a monk who unlocked the secret to weightlessness and was able to fly. The quote seems to have a strong Buddhist inspiration.

 

I was wondering how closely the characters relate to the provided English translation. Pinyin for all the characters would also be greatly appreciated!

Pinyin:

 

出尘世羁绊

chu1  chen2  shi4  ji1  ban4

 

入虚无如风

ru4  xu1  wu2  ru2  feng1

 

Note that ancient literary should be read from up to down and then from right to left.

 

The English translation is very close. I would translate like this: Let go of the earthly tether, (and) enter the void as wind.

Love that show!

 

I'm surprised they used Chinese though, it was always clearly inspired by China and Tibet but I assumed all the written text would be a fictional language.  Just another cool little detail they put into the show though!
