Original text

In a small country with few people, the weapons of Shi (bǎi) Uncle (bǎi, with three tones of the false character "bai" in ancient Chinese) are not used, so that the people die again and do 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 ropes and use them to achieve the highest level of governance, enjoy their food, beautify their clothes, live in peace, and enjoy their customs. Neighboring countries look at each other, hear the sound of cocks and dogs, and the people do not interact with each other until they grow old and die.

Translation

If the country is small and the people are small, even if there are various instruments, they will not use them, so that the people will not want to move to other places until they die; although there are boats and vehicles, there is no need to use them ; Although there are elite armored soldiers, there is no need to form a formation to show off. It makes the people feel like they have returned to a simpler time, so that the country can be governed perfectly, with good food, good clothing, good housing, and good customs. Neighboring countries can see each other and hear the sounds of cocks and dogs, but their people do not want to intrude on each other until they grow old and die.

Magical Life

The Tao is an ultimate realm that cannot be expressed in words, but can be sung in words. The Tao Te Ching has five thousand words. It is a unique manual on how to use life in the universe. It is a long song describing the manual on how to use life. Next, we invite everyone to listen to the beautiful rhythm of this heavenly sound coming from the life of the universe - the enlightenment experience derived from the "Tao Te Ching":

1. Human beings have created civilization. Civilization is also destroying nature. Returning to nature is the way to save mankind.

2. Every thought we have is creating our future. Violence begets violence, and true feelings respond to true feelings.

3. The pastoral charm of cattle and sheep everywhere, and the smell of chickens and dogs, has a natural harmony; the urban scenery is made of reinforced concrete, and people's intelligence and sharpness seem meaningful but have no natural charm! The natural flow is more powerful than any language.

4. Full love in the soul is a kind of pure energy! If you want health, happiness, and happiness, it's actually very simple, just know yourself and be yourself!

5. Wandering in worldly thoughts will make you confused. The principle of sustainable growth of life is superior to everything else.

6. Don’t care too much about an unpleasant word. All discomforts are to expand our mind.

7. The value of learning lies in doing it - many people think that learning will change themselves, but this idea is unreliable.

8. Losing your temper and complaining and hating are of no use to you or others. It is just too heavy a burden on the journey of life. Think about it, should I bring hatred to you?

9. It is better to live up to expectations than to be angry. Life is better if you are not angry. It is better to do it than to know it. Our life experience is entirely created by ourselves.

10. There are countless roads open in front of everyone. Some souls are climbing the road to high places, some souls are groping for the way to low places, and some souls are heading for the smooth road shrouded in mist. , some souls are wandering around... Everyone has the right to choose their own soul journey.

11. If you don’t understand the truth for a day, no one will notice; if you don’t understand the truth for a week, your emotional intelligence will start to lose; if you don’t understand the truth for a year, life will be confused! Do you dare to tell yourself how long it has been since you were enlightened?

12. In the history of mankind, there are always a group of people who care about the world and have the courage to take on responsibilities; there are always a group of people who are calm and calm and think calmly; there are always a group of people who are upright and dare to speak out - these It is the noble spiritual pursuit of mankind for thousands of years.
