1. Those with deep desires have shallow secrets.

The ancients said that "man is the spirit of all things." We humans are originally the most spiritual, but as our desires continue to increase, we have lost many of our original functions. As the saying goes, "profit makes one's wisdom dim." As long as a person is greedy for fame, wealth, food, drink and fun, his original wisdom will be blocked. Therefore, learning Taoism and cultivating means to be indifferent to material desires, restore your original nature, and restore your own inherent wisdom and virtue.

2. The greatest good is like water, which benefits all things without dispute.

If you want to achieve the perfect state of moral cultivation, you must learn from water. Water nourishes everything in the world, but it never takes credit or is arrogant or competitive. It always flows wherever it is low. Although water has no competition with the world, there is no one in the world who can compete with it. Therefore, we must behave in the same way as human beings. We must always consider the interests of all sentient beings and remain humble and low-key in order to remain invincible.

3. People have thousands of calculations, but God has one calculation.

As the saying goes, "Smartness leads to mistakes." No matter how smart a person is, he cannot calculate with God. A wise man will surely make a mistake if he thinks too much. As long as he violates the laws of heaven, he will definitely be punished by nature. There are so many social disasters now because people are so smart, they don’t know the heights of the world, they have lost their respect for nature, and they act arbitrarily.

4. Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them.

People with outstanding talents and conduct are easily jealous and criticized by others. The more talented and virtuous you are, the more others will find fault with you. On the other hand, if you have no ability or virtue, others will be too lazy to find fault with you; the more you are criticized and envied by others, the better you are.

5. Without indifference, there is no clear ambition; without tranquility, there is no far-reaching goal.

If a person cannot see through the fame and wealth in the world, it will be difficult to determine his ambition in life; if the person's body and mind cannot be peaceful, he will not realize his lofty ideals. Nowadays, people are getting richer and richer, but they are also becoming more and more impetuous. They only care about the present, not the future, and lack the ambition and ideals of life.

6. Too much thinking brings disaster, but doing little brings blessing.

As the saying goes, "Stupid people are blessed." Although some people seem stupid and have no scheming, their luck is always very good, and they can always turn misfortune into good fortune, and adversity into good fortune. And some people think they are smart, scheming, and calculating, and in the end all bad luck comes to them. Therefore, it is said that the greatest happiness in life is to have nothing to do, to feel at ease, to have a calm mind, and to be carefree.

7. Don’t do good deeds because they are small, and do not do evil because they are small.

We all know the principle of "quantitative change leads to qualitative change". If you regard yourself as lofty and have a luck mentality, think that this good deed is too small and stop doing it, and think that it is okay to do a little bad thing, then your vision is too short-sighted. Yes, we must guard against mistakes and be strict with ourselves.

8. Good people will not deceive others, but evil people will not be afraid of others.

The kinder people are, the more they will be bullied, slandered, and framed by evil people. However, there is a god above the head, and the sky is vast, and there are no omissions. Although the evil people can succeed for a while, they will eventually fail. Being punished as you deserve does not mean that you will not retaliate because the time has not yet come.

9. A house that accumulates good deeds will always be blessed; a house that accumulates bad deeds will always have disaster.

The word "must" fully reflects the ancients' affirmation of this matter, and there is nothing to doubt. If you sow good causes, you will get good results, if you sow evil causes, you will get bad results, as long as you keep doing it
