Morality What the Sutra has said
Chapter 1 of "Laozi"
The Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao. Famous, very famous. The nameless beginning of heaven and earth; the named mother of all things. Therefore, if there is always nothing, I want to observe its wonderfulness; if there is always something, I want to observe its beauty. These two have the same origin but different names, and they are both called xuan. Mysterious and mysterious, the door to all mysteries.
Chapter 2 of "Laozi"
Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beauty, but this is evil. Everyone knows that good is good, but this is not good.
Being and non-being complement each other, difficulty and ease complement each other, long and short complement each other, high and low complement each other, sounds harmonize with each other, and front and rear follow each other. Heng Ye.
This is because the sage does nothing, and teaches without saying anything; all things are done without beginning, born without being, done without relying on them, and accomplished without living. I feel like I have no place to live, so I won’t go.
Chapter 3 of "Laozi"
If you do not respect the virtuous, the people will not fight; if you do not value hard-to-find goods, the people will not steal; if you do not see what is desirable, the people will not be confused. Therefore, the rule of the sage is to make his heart weak, his belly strong, his ambition weak, and his bones strong. It often makes people ignorant and desireless. A wise man would not dare to do anything. If you do nothing, everything will be cured.
Chapter 4 of "Laozi"
The Tao is in conflict, but it may not be profitable if you use it. Yuanxi, like the ancestor of all things; Zhanxi, like or existence. I don’t know whose son is the first of Emperor Xiang.
Chapter 5 of "Laozi"
The heaven and the earth are unkind and regard all things as gullible dogs; the saints are unkind and regard the common people as rude dogs. Between the heaven and the earth, it is like a chariot. It is empty and unyielding, and it becomes more and more active when it moves. It is better to keep the center than to talk too much.
Chapter 6 of "Laozi"
The immortality of the Grain God is called the mysterious female. The gate of Xuanfei is called the root of heaven and earth. If it persists, it will be used without diligence.
Chapter 7 of "Laozi"
Forever and ever. The reason why heaven and earth can be long-lasting is because they do not generate themselves, so they can live forever. Therefore, the sage follows his body and comes first; his body is outside and his body exists. Isn't it selfless? So it can be selfish.
"Laozi" Chapter 8
The best is like water. Water is good for all things and does not compete with it. It is disliked by everyone, so it is close to the Tao. Live in a good place, have a good heart, be kind and benevolent, speak good words and have good faith, govern well, do good things and be able to do good things at the right time. The husband does not fight, so there is no need for you.
Chapter 9 of "Laozi"
If it persists and becomes abundant, it will not be as good as before; if it persists and sharpens, it cannot last long. A house full of gold and jade cannot be guarded; if you are rich and arrogant, you will suffer the consequences. After the merits have been restored, this is the way of heaven.
Chapter 10 of "Laozi"
Can you hold a soul in your arms without separation? Can you be as gentle as a baby if you concentrate on your Qi? Can you be as good as a blemish if you cleanse away all mysteries? If you love the country and govern the people, can you do nothing? If the gate of heaven is open and closed, can you be a female? If you understand the four directions, can you be ignorant?
"Laozi" Chapter 11
Thirty spokes, ***One hub, treat it as nothing but useful for the car. The 叟埴 is regarded as a utensil, but it should be used as a utensil if it is not there. Cut out the door to make a room, pretend it doesn't exist, and use it as a room if there is one. Therefore, if you have it, you will benefit from it, and if you don’t have it, you will use it.
《Laozi》Chapter 12
The five colors make one blind; the five tones make one deaf; the five tastes make one’s mouth refresh; galloping and hunting make one’s heart go crazy; rare goods make one walk harm. This is because the sage is his belly and not his eyes, so he goes to that place and takes this one.
Chapter 13 of "Laozi"
Favor and disgrace are as shocking as being favored and humiliated, and great trouble is as great as one's own. What does it mean to be favored, disgraced, or frightened? Being favored is like being humble, and when you get it, you are frightened, and when you lose it, you are frightened. This is called favor, disgrace, or fright.
What does it mean to cherish a serious illness like the body? The reason why I have a great illness is because I have a body, and if I don’t have a body, what trouble do I have? Therefore, I value my body as a body, if I can send it to the world; I love my body as a body, if it can support the world.
《Laozi》Chapter 14
To turn a blind eye is called Yi; to hear but not hear is called Xi; to be unable to fight is called Wei. These three cannot lead to cross-examination, so they are mixed into one. There is no confusion above it, and there is no ignorance below it. The ropes are nameless and return to things. It is called the state of being without form, the image of nothing, it is called trance. When you welcome someone, you don't see the first one, and when you follow it, you don't see the rear. Adhere to the ancient ways to control the present. Being able to know the beginning of ancient times is called Taoism.
Chapter 15 of "Laozi"
Those who were good at practicing Taoism in ancient times were subtle and mysterious and could not be discerned. I can't recognize it, so I made it look like: He's as if he's wading through the river in winter; He's as if he's afraid of his neighbors; He's as if he's a guest; He's as loose as he is in the mountains; He's as simple as he is in the open; He's as if he's in a valley; He's as confused as if he's in a valley. It's like turbidity; it's like the sea; it's like it's endless. Who can make the turbid and quiet, the Xu Qing? Who can make the moving Xu Sheng peaceful? Those who protect this way do not want to be overflowing. The husband is not full, so it can be covered and made new.
Chapter 16 of "Laozi"
To the extreme of emptiness, keep quiet. All things are working together, and I will observe them again. Husband, everything is in a cloud, and each one returns to its roots. Returning to the root is called tranquility, and tranquility is called returning to life. Fu Ming said Chang, Zhi Chang said Ming. I don't know what's normal, and I act recklessly. Know that the appearance is permanent, the appearance is the public, the public is the whole, the whole is the sky, the sky is the Tao, the Tao is the long, and the body is not destroyed.
Chapter 17 of "Laozi"
Your Majesty, I don’t know it exists; secondly, praise it as a relative; secondly, fear it; thirdly, insult it. If you don't believe it enough, you don't believe it. Your words are precious. When success is achieved, people all say: "It's natural for me."
Chapter 18 of "Laozi"
When the great righteousness is lost, there is benevolence and righteousness; when wisdom emerges, there is great hypocrisy; when relatives are in discord, there is filial piety; when the country is in chaos, there are loyal ministers.
《Laozi》Chapter 19
If you abandon the sage and abandon wisdom, the people will benefit a hundred times; if you abandon the benevolent and righteous, the people will return to filial piety and kindness; if you abandon the skillful and profitable, there will be no thieves. These three are considered literary and insufficient. Therefore, the order has its own characteristics: See simplicity, embrace simplicity, think less and have few desires, learn without worries.
Chapter 20 of "Laozi"
What is the difference between beauty and evil? What is the difference between beauty and evil? What people fear, we must not be afraid of it. It's desolate, but it's not central! Everyone is bustling, as if they are in a prison, or on the stage in spring. I am alone, as if there is no sign; chaotic, like an unborn baby; tired, as if I have nowhere to go. Everyone has a surplus, but I am the only one left behind. I have a fool's heart! The common people are enlightened, but I am alone and dim. The common people look at me, but I am alone. Everyone has it, but I am stubborn and mean. I am different from other people, but I value my mother-in-law.
《Laozi》Chapter 21
Confucius’ appearance can only follow the Tao. Tao is a thing, but it is in a daze. In a trance, there are images in it; in a trance, there are things in it.
The graceful and dark things have essence in them; the essence is so true that there is faith in them. From now on and from ancient times, his name will never go away, so that he can be read by many famous people. How can I know the status of all the masters? This is how I can know them.
Chapter 22 of "Laozi"
The crookedness is complete, the false is straight, the hollow is full, the hollow is new, the less is more, and the more is confusion. Therefore, it is the common practice of the world for a saint to hold one in his arms.
If you don’t see yourself, you will be clear; if you don’t know what you are, you will be enlightened; if you don’t cut yourself off, you will have merit; if you are not proud of yourself, you will grow. My husband does not fight, so no one in the world can fight with him.
The ancient saying that "the song is complete" is not true! It is sincere and complete.
Chapter 23 of "Laozi"
Hope is natural. Therefore, the wind does not last forever, and the showers last all day. Who is this? Heaven and earth.
Heaven and earth cannot last forever, but what about humans? Therefore, those who practice Tao are the same as Tao; those who are virtuous are the same as virtue; those who lose are the same as failure.
Those who are the same as Tao, Tao is also happy to gain it; those who are the same as virtue, virtue is also happy to gain it; those who are the same as loss, loss is also happy to gain it. If you don't believe it enough, you don't believe it.
《Laozi》Chapter 24
Those who strive for success will not be established; those who cross will not be able to do it; those who see themselves are not clear; those who are self-righteous will not manifest themselves; those who cut down on themselves have no merit; they are self-respecting. The person is not long.
It is in Tao, and it is said to be: surplus food. Things may be evil, so those who have the Tao will not live there.
Chapter 25 of "Laozi"
Things are mixed together, born innately and on earth. Silent and desolate, independent and unchanging, moving around without peril, she can be regarded as the mother of heaven and earth.
I don’t know its name. The word for strong is called Dao, and the name for strong is called Da. The big day is called passing, the passing day is said to be far away, and the distant day is called reverse. Therefore, the Tao is big, the sky is big, the earth is big, and people are also big.
There are four major ones in the domain, and humans live in one of them. Man follows the earth, earth follows heaven, heaven follows Tao, and Tao follows nature.
Chapter 26 of "Laozi"
Heaviness is the root of lightness, tranquility is the king of impatience. Therefore, a gentleman never travels without his luggage. Although there is a view of glory, Yan is aloof. How can the Lord of ten thousand chariots despise the world with his own body? If he is careless, he will lose his roots; if he is impetuous, he will lose his authority.
"Laozi" Chapter 27
Good deeds have no traces; good words have no flaws; good numbers do not require planning; good closure has no ties but cannot be opened; good knots have no ties. And incomprehensible. Therefore, a saint is always good at saving people, so he never abandons anyone; he is always good at saving things, so he never abandons anything. It is called Xi Ming. Therefore, good people are teachers of bad people; bad people are resources of good people. Not appreciating his teacher, not loving his talent, even though his wisdom is great and deluded, it is said to be wonderful.
"Laozi" Chapter 28
Knowing the male and guarding the female are the streams of the world. For the world's stream, everlasting virtue will never leave, and return to the baby. Knowing its whiteness and keeping its humiliation, it is the valley of the world. For the valley of the world, constant virtue is enough, and return to simplicity. Know its whiteness and guard its blackness, this is the way of the world. It is the style of the world, always virtuous but not too late, and returns to Wuji. The simple powder is used as a weapon, and when a saint uses it, he becomes an official, so great wisdom cannot be cut off.
Chapter 29 of "Laozi"
I think he has no choice but to conquer the world. The divine weapon in the world cannot be manipulated or held. Those who do it will fail, and those who insist will lose it. Therefore, the sage does nothing, so he has no defeat; he has no attachment, so he has no failure. Things may move or follow; they may hiss or blow; they may be strong or weak; they may be carried or lost. Therefore, the sage eliminates extremes, luxury, and tai.
Chapter 30 of "Laozi"
Those who use Dao to assist their masters do not use soldiers to strengthen the world. It's so far away. Where the teacher is, there are thorns. After the army, there will be bad years. Good deeds have consequences, don't use them to gain strength. Don’t be proud of the fruits, don’t cut down the fruits, and don’t be proud of the fruits. Do it as a last resort, do it as a result but don't force yourself. Things grow old when they are strong, which is called immorality, and immorality has already happened.
《Laozi》Chapter 31
The soldier is an ominous weapon, something that may be evil, so he who has the right will not live there. When a gentleman lives, he values ??the left; when using troops, he values ??the right. Soldiers are an ominous weapon and are not the weapons of a gentleman. They should be used as a last resort, and tranquility is the best. It is victorious but not beautiful, and those who are beautiful are happy to kill people. Those who kill people in Fule will not be able to succeed in the world. Good things happen to the left, bad things happen to the right. The general on the left is on the left, and the general on the right is on the right. It is said that they will be treated as funerals. Those who kill people should mourn and weep, and those who are victorious should be given funeral rites.
"Laozi" Chapter 32
The Tao is often nameless and simple. Although he is small, there is no one in the world who can do anything for him. If the princes and kings can guard it, all things will be safe. The heaven and the earth are united to bring down nectar, and the people do not obey orders but are self-disciplined. There is a name in the beginning, and now that the name is there, you will also know the stopping, and knowing the stopping can prevent death. For example, the Tao is in the world, just like the rivers and valleys are in the rivers and seas.
"Laozi" Chapter 33
He who knows others is wise, and he who knows himself is wise. He who conquers others is powerful, and he who conquers himself is strong. He who is content is rich. The strong have the will. Those who do not lose their place will last forever. He who dies but does not die will live longer.
Chapter 34 of "Laozi"
The great road is vast, and it can be controlled. All things rely on it to survive without giving up, and success is achieved without success. Clothes that nourish all things without taking over can be called small; those that return all things without taking over can be called big. Because in the end he does not think he is great, he can become great.
"Laozi" Chapter 35
Holding the elephant, the world will go. Go without harm, peace and peace. Pleasure and bait, passers-by stop. The outlet of the Tao is so bland and tasteless that it cannot be seen by sight, cannot be heard by hearing, and cannot be used enough.
"Laozi" Chapter 36
If you want to suppress something, you must expand it; if you want to weaken it, you must strengthen it; if you want to abolish it, you must strengthen it If you want to take it, you must give it to it. It's called twilight. Weakness prevails over strength. Fish cannot be escaped from the abyss, and the sharp weapons of the country cannot be shown to others.
Chapter 37 of "Laozi"
Tao always does nothing but does everything.
If the princes and kings can guard it, all things will transform themselves. If you want to transform it into something, I will suppress it with nameless simplicity. If you suppress it with nameless simplicity, your husband will not want it. If you don’t want to be quiet, the world will be in order.
《Laozi》Chapter 38
To be virtuous is not to be virtuous, so we are virtuous; to be virtuous is not to be virtuous, so we are not to be virtuous. The superior virtue does nothing but thinks; the inferior virtue does nothing but thinks. The superior benevolence does it without thinking; the superior righteousness does it without thinking. If you don't respond to the gift, you will throw it away. Therefore, losing virtue will lead to virtue, losing virtue will lead to benevolence, losing benevolence will lead to righteousness, and losing righteousness will lead to propriety. The husband's propriety is weak in loyalty and leads to chaos. Those who know before are the brilliance of Tao and the beginning of foolishness. Therefore, a true man should be concerned with the thick and not the thin; he should be honest and honest, but not with the luxurious. So go to that one and take this one.
"Laozi" Chapter 39
In the past, those who obtained one: the sky obtained one to make it clear; the earth obtained one to make it peaceful; the gods got one to make it spiritual; the grain got one to make it spiritual. Sheng; Hou Deyi believed that the world was right. The reason for this is that if the sky cannot be kept clear, it may burst into pieces; if the earth cannot be kept calm, it may become ruined; if the gods cannot have spirit, it may fear that it will rest; if the grain cannot be full, it may become exhausted; if all things cannot live, it may be destroyed. "If the king cannot be upright, he will collapse in fear." Therefore, nobility is based on lowliness, and high and low are the basis. Therefore, the princes and princes claimed to be lonely, widowed, and poor. Isn't this based on lowliness? No? That's why it leads to reputation but no reputation. This is why I don’t want the jade to be like jade, or the diamond to be like stone.
Chapter 40 of "Laozi"
The opposite is the movement of Tao; the weak is the use of Tao. All things in the world are born from being, and being is born from nothing.
《Laozi》Chapter 41
When a superior man hears the Tao, he practices it diligently; when a sergeant hears the Tao, he or she lives or perishes; when a corporal man hears the Tao, he laughs. Not smiling is not enough for the Tao. Therefore, there are some suggestions: The way to know is like ignorance; the way to advance is like retreat; the way to be ignorant is like □; the virtue of superiority is like valley; the virtue of wideness is like insufficient; the virtue of building is like stealing; the quality of truth is like Chongqing; the clarity is like humiliation; the generosity has no corners; the great talent is late; the great sound is like Xisheng; the elephant is invisible; the Tao is nameless. The husband is a Taoist, good at lending and successful.
《Laozi》Chapter 42
Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things bear yin and embrace yang, and inject qi into harmony. What is evil about people is being lonely, widowed, and destitute, but the princes think they are famous. Therefore, things may be damaged and benefited, or they may be benefited and lost. What others teach, I also teach. Those who are strong will not be allowed to die, I will be your godfather.
Chapter 43 of "Laozi"
The most soft in the world is the strongest in the world. Nothing enters the non-existent, so I think it is beneficial to know that there is nothing. Teaching without words and doing nothing will bring benefits, and the world can hope for them.
"Laozi" Chapter 44
Who is related to name and body? Which is more body and more goods? Which disease is gain or loss? If you love much, you will spend a lot; if you hide much, you will be generous. Death. Therefore, if you know what is enough, you will not be disgraced, and if you know how to stop, you will not perish, and you can last a long time.
"Laozi" Chapter 45
If a great achievement is lacking, its use will not be harmful. If there is a big surplus, it will be of endless use. Great straightness is like bending, great skill is like clumsiness, great debate is like indifference. Quietness overcomes impatience, cold overcomes heat. Tranquility is the righteousness of the world.
Chapter 46 of "Laozi"
There is a way in the world, but it is a waste of time. There is no way in the world, and soldiers and horses are born in the suburbs. No disaster is greater than dissatisfaction; no fault is greater than desire. Therefore, knowing what is enough is always enough.
"Laozi" Chapter 47
Without leaving home, you can know the world; without peeking into the window, you can see the way of heaven. Its journey is far away and its knowledge is limited. Therefore, the sage knows without doing, understands without seeing, and achieves without doing.
Chapter 48 of "Laozi"
The more you learn, the more you lose for the Tao. Damage after damage, to the point of doing nothing. Do nothing and do nothing. To conquer the world, it is often necessary to have nothing to do, and even if there is something to do, it is not enough to conquer the world.
Chapter 49 of "Laozi"
The sage is often careless and takes the hearts of the people as his heart. What is good, I am good at; what is not good, I am also good about; virtue is good. Those who believe, I believe; those who do not believe, I also believe; virtue is trustworthy. The sage is in the world, and he is alone. He clears the heart of the world, and the people all pay attention to his ears and eyes, and the sage is a child.
Chapter 50 of "Laozi"
From birth to death. Three out of ten people will be affected by life; three out of ten people will be affected by death; three out of ten people will be affected by life and death. Why? Husband, because of his wealth. Gai heard that those who are good at maintaining their health will not meet tigers on the road, and will not be attacked by armored soldiers when they enter the army; tigers will have no place to throw their horns, tigers will have no use for their claws, and soldiers will have no room for their blades.
Why? Because there is no place to die.
《Laozi》Chapter 51
Tao is born, virtue is the animal, things are shaped, and potential is formed. Therefore, all things respect Tao and value virtue. The respect of Tao, the nobility of virtue, and the destiny of the husband are always natural.
Therefore, it is born by Tao, it is cultivated by virtue; it is cultivated by virtue; it is nurtured by growth; it is matured by cultivation; it is overturned by nourishment. Be born without having sex, work without relying on it, grow without killing. It is called Xuande.
"Laozi" Chapter 52
The world has a beginning, and we think it is the mother of the world. Now that he has his mother, he can know his son, and he can guard his mother again, and he will not perish even if he loses his body. If you shut your door, you will be inactive for the rest of your life. Open it up and help it, but you will never save it for the rest of your life. See small and say bright, keep soft and say strong. Use its light to restore its brightness without leaving any physical consequences; this is the normal state of attack.
Chapter 53 of "Laozi"
It makes me aware that I can walk on the great road and only use this fear. The road is very rough, but people like it. The dynasty is in turmoil, the fields are barren, and the warehouses are empty; if you are talented in literature and carry a sharp sword, you are tired of food and drink, and you have more than enough money; this is a boast for thieves. It is not Tao!
Chapter 54 of "Laozi"
Those who are good at building will not pull out, those who are good at embracing will not take off, and the descendants will continue to offer sacrifices. Cultivate it in the body, and its virtue will be true; cultivate it in the family, and its virtue will be residual; cultivate it in the village, and its virtue will be long; cultivate it in the country, and its virtue will be abundant; cultivate it in the world, and its virtue will be universal. Therefore, observe the body through the body, observe the family through the family, observe the township through the township, observe the state through the state, and observe the world through the world. How can I know what is going on in the world? This is how I know what is going on in the world.
Chapter 55 of "Laozi"
It contains "virtue" more deeply than an innocent child. Poisonous insects do not sting, ferocious beasts do not take hold, and snatching birds do not fight. The bones are weak and the tendons are soft but firm to hold. It is unknown that the combination of male and female creates a perfect match. Howling all day long without croaking, harmony is achieved. Knowing He is called "Chang", knowing Chang is called "Ming". Yisheng said Xiang. The heart makes Qi strong. When something is strong, it becomes old. It is said to be immoral, but it has already been immoral.
"Laozi" Chapter 56
Those who know do not speak, and those who speak do not know. Defeating its sharpness, resolving its confusion, harmonizing its light and being the same as its dust, this is called "mysterious unity". Therefore, if you are not available, you will be close; if you are not available, you will be distant; if you are not available, you will benefit; if you are not available, you will be harmed; if you are not available, you will be noble; if you are not available, you will be humble. Therefore, it is noble in the world.
Chapter 57 of "Laozi"
Rule the country with integrity, use military force with surprise, and conquer the world with nothing. How do I know this? From this: There are many taboos in the world, but the people are impoverished; there are many people with sharp weapons, and the country becomes weak; there are many people with clever tricks, and strange things appear; there are many laws and regulations, and there are many thieves. Therefore, the sage said: "I do nothing, and the people become themselves; I like to be quiet, and the people are upright; I have nothing to do, and the people are rich; I have no desires, and the people are simple."
"Laozi" 》Chapter 58
Its government is boring, but its people are honest; its government is chaotic, but its people are lacking. Therefore, the sage is square but not cutting, honest but not prudent, straight but not unruly, bright but not dazzling. Misfortunes are where blessings depend, and blessings are where misfortunes lie. Who knows how extreme it is? It is not right. If you are good, you will become a strange person; if you are good, you will become a monster. People's confusion lasts for a long time.
Chapter 59 of "Laozi"
When governing people and nature, nothing should be done more than being stingy. If a husband is stingy, it is called early obedience; early obedience is called emphasizing the accumulation of virtue; if he emphasizes the accumulation of virtue, everything will be overcome; if there is nothing he cannot overcome, he will not know the extreme; if he does not know the extreme, he can have a country; if he has the mother of a country, he can last for a long time; this is called deep roots. Solidity is the way to live forever.
"Laozi" Chapter 60
Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes. If the Tao comes to the world, its ghosts will not be gods; if it is not its ghosts, it will not be gods, its gods will not hurt people; if it is not its gods, it will not hurt people, and its saints will not hurt people. Husbands and wives do not hurt each other, so their virtues return to each other.
Chapter 61 of "Laozi"
Those who are in great states are inferior to women in the world, and they are also the friends of the world. The female often wins over the male by being quiet, and the male is inferior by being quiet. Therefore, if a big state is lower than a small state, then it is a small state; if a small state is lower than a big state, then it is a big state. Therefore, you can either go down to get it, or you can go down and get it. A big country only wants to be a domestic and a human being, and a small country only wants to be a foreigner. Both husbands each get what they want, and the greater one should be inferior.
Chapter 62 of "Laozi"
The Tao is the secret of all things. The treasure of good people is the preserve of bad people. Good words can attract people, and good deeds can attract people. If people are not good, why should they be abandoned? Therefore, when the emperor is established and the three princes are installed, even if there is a jade in the arch to mount the horse first, it is better to sit down in this way. Why was this Tao so valued in ancient times? Didn't it say: Seek and you will get it, and if you are guilty, you will avoid evil? Therefore, it is the most valued in the world.
"Laozi" Chapter 63
To do nothing, to do nothing, to have no taste. The picture is more difficult than the easy, and the details are greater than the details; the difficult things in the world must be done in the easy, and the great things in the world must be done in the details. Therefore, the saint is not great in the end, so he can become great. If a husband makes a promise lightly, he will be distrustful; if it is easy, it will be difficult. Therefore, it is still difficult for the sage, so it will not be difficult in the end.
Chapter 64 of "Laozi"
Its security is easy to maintain, and its lack of warning is easy to plan. It is brittle and easy to spread, and its texture is easy to fall apart. Treat it before it exists, and cure it before it is in chaos. The tree that hugs each other is born from the smallest grain of wood; the nine-story platform begins from tired soil; a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. People often succeed and fail in their pursuits. If you are as careful as you are at the beginning, you will never fail.
Chapter 65 of "Laozi"
Those who were good in ancient times would not enlighten the people, but they would make them stupid. The people are difficult to govern because of their wisdom. Therefore, if you govern a country with wisdom, you will be a thief to the country; if you do not govern a country with wisdom, you will be a blessing to the country. Knowing that these two are also similar. It is often known that Ji Shi is called "Xuan De". "Xuande" is deep, far away, contrary to things, and then even great.
Chapter 66 of "Laozi"
The reason why Jianghai can be the king of hundreds of grains is because it is good at controlling it, so it can be the king of hundreds of grains. Therefore, if a sage wants to lead the people, he must speak to the people; if he wants to precede the people, he must speak to the people behind him. Therefore, when a sage is on top, the people do not take him seriously, and when he is in front, the people do not harm him. Therefore, the world is happy to push forward and never tire of it. Because he does not fight, no one in the world can fight with him.
Chapter 67 of "Laozi"
Everyone in the world calls me a great Taoist, which seems unworthy of me. My husband is big, so he seems unworthy. If it is small, it has been fine for a long time. Husband! I have three treasures, hold on to them and protect them. The first is compassion, the second is frugality, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world. Kindness leads to courage; frugality leads to broadness; not daring to be the first in the world, so one can become a leader. Today, give up kindness and be brave; give up frugality and be broad; give up the last and be the first; die! If a husband is kind, he will win by fighting, and he will be strong by guarding. Heaven will save him and protect him with mercy.
《Laozi》Chapter 68
Those who are good at being soldiers do not use force; those who are good at fighting do not get angry; those who are good at defeating the enemy do not fight against them; those who are good at using others do not fight against them. Down.
This is the virtue of not fighting, it is the use of human strength, and it is the ultimate in matching the heavens and the ancients.
Chapter 69 of "Laozi"
There is a saying about using troops: "I dare not act as the master, but as the guest; I dare not advance an inch, but retreat a foot." This is called action. There is no movement; there is no arm to fight; there is no enemy to throw; there is no soldier to hold. There is no greater disaster than underestimating the enemy. Underestimating the enemy will cost us our treasure. Therefore, if the resistance is similar, the one who mourns will win.
"Laozi" Chapter 70
My words are easy to understand and easy to do. No one in the world can know it, and no one can do it. Words have a lineage, and affairs have a king. I am ignorant, because I don’t know. Those who know me are desirable, and those who know me are valuable. This is why the saint is covered in brown but pregnant with jade.
Chapter 71 of "Laozi"
If you know what you don't know, that's fine; if you don't know, that's disease. The sage is not sick, but he is sick by his illness. Wu Wei is sick, so he is not sick.
"Laozi" Chapter 72
If the people are not afraid of authority, great authority will prevail. No matter where he lives, no matter where he lives. Husband never gets tired of it, so he never gets tired of it. Therefore, the saint knows himself but does not see himself; he loves himself but does not value himself. So go to that one and take this one.
"Laozi" Chapter 73
If you are brave, you will kill; if you are brave, you will live. Both of these may be beneficial or harmful. Who knows why Heaven is evil? The way of Heaven is to be good at winning without fighting, to be good at responding without speaking, to come without being called, and to be good at planning. The sky net is vast, sparse but not lost.
"Laozi" Chapter 74
If the people are not afraid of death, how can they be afraid of death? If the people are constantly afraid of death, and it is strange, I will kill them Who dares? There are always those who are in charge of killing. The person who kills someone on behalf of his husband is called a great craftsman who cuts his hands. If he cuts his hands on behalf of a great craftsman, I hope his hands will not be hurt.
"Laozi" Chapter 75
The people are hungry because of the large food tax. The people are difficult to treat because of the efforts made above. The people despise death because they seek to survive. The husband who has nothing to do with life is a wise man who values ??life.
"Laozi" Chapter 76
People are weak in life, and strong in death. Plants and trees are soft and brittle when they are alive, and they are withered when they die. Therefore, the strong are the disciples of death, and the weak are the disciples of life. Therefore, if the army is strong, it will be destroyed, and if the wood is strong, it will be broken. The strong is at the bottom, the weak is at the top.
"Laozi" Chapter 77
The way of heaven is like a bow and a bow? Those who are high suppress it, those who are low lift it; those who have more will lose it, and those who have less will make up for it. Of. The way of heaven is to make up for the excess when there is excess damage. This is not the case in the way of man. The loss is not enough, but there is more than enough to serve. Who can have more than enough to serve the world, only the Taoist. This is because he does not rely on saints, he does not rely on his achievements, and he does not want to see virtuous people.
Chapter 78 of "Laozi"
No one in the world is softer than water, and no one who attacks the strong can win, because it cannot be easily defeated. The weak overcomes the strong, the soft overcomes the strong, no one in the world knows it, and no one can do it. This is why the sage said: "To accept the country's filth is to be called the master of the country; to accept the country to be inauspicious is to be the king of the world." It is true to say the opposite.
Chapter 79 of "Laozi"
If you reconcile a big grievance, there will always be residual grievances; if you repay grievances with virtue, how can you do good? It is because the sage holds the contract and does not take responsibility. To people. There is Desiqi, but there is no Desiche. Heaven has no relatives and always associates with good people.
"Laozi" Chapter 80
A small country with few people. It makes the people have a rare weapon but does not use it; it makes the people die again and not move far away. Although there are boats and carriages, there is nothing to ride them on; although there are armored soldiers, there is nothing to display them. Let the people re-knot the rope and use it. Enjoy your food, enjoy your clothes, live comfortably, and be happy with your customs. Neighboring countries look at each other, they hear the sound of cocks and dogs, and their people do not interact with each other until they grow old and die.
"Laozi" Chapter 81
Faithful words are not beautiful, and beautiful words are not believed. A good person does not argue, and a person who debates is not good. A person who knows is not knowledgeable, and a person who is knowledgeable does not know. The sage does not accumulate. Since he thinks that others and himself have more, he has given more to others and himself. The way of heaven is to benefit without harm; the way of saints is to act without fighting.
