Taoist classic quotes

Hello, although Taoism is not one of the three major religions in the world, it has a long history and has its own set of codes of conduct and persistence. Here are a few famous sayings that I know that I agree with: To ward off evil, burning incense will not do any good. Support yourself and be upright. What's the problem if you don't bow to me when you see me? This is a door couplet on the Yuquan Temple in Tianshui, Gansu Province. It explains the Taoist practice method, which is that as long as you work hard to be kind and act upright, you can still be safe and healthy even if you don’t worship gods and Buddhas. If you are evil in your heart and cannot follow the right path, then worship God will not take away your own sins. Therefore, the essence of religion is to enlighten all sentient beings, understand the Tao, and then transcend others. My destiny is up to me. This sentence was said by Nezha in a recently popular movie. In fact, the original source is also a Taoist classic. This sentence is mentioned in Zhang Boduan's "Wuzhen Pian" during the Northern Song Dynasty. In addition, Ge Hong's "Baopuzi" from the Wei and Jin Dynasties also has "I will use you when I am not here. It will take hundreds of millions of years to return the elixir to gold." Both of these books are Taoist classics. Friends who are interested can read them. The Supreme Being doesn't know it exists, and then he praises it personally, then he fears it, and then he insults it. This is a passage from Laozi's Tao Te Ching, which means that truly good deeds will not be known to others. Let me give you an example: There was news that a middle school student tripped over a stone while riding his bicycle on the road. People passing by offered a helping hand and sent the student to the hospital and removed the stone. The brave people were praised for their actions. There is unanimous praise from all walks of life; there is another thing of the same type: because a certain road is located in a mountainous area, there are occasionally some gravels and other obstacles on the road. One day, a cyclist passing by was hit by these gravels. He tripped and fell, but there was no one else around to help him. He stumbled up and cleared the gravel to the side of the road. Later, although many people passed by, because the gravel had been cleaned before, no one who passed by behind was affected. Obstacles block. But because the first person to clean up the stones, his actions were not known by people, so no one recited them, but he did do good things to facilitate everyone. Isn’t this what we call: The Supreme Being doesn’t know what’s going on? ?.

The above are a few famous sayings that I personally understand and agree with. You can refer to them.
