Taoist classics on mind cultivation include:

1. 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.

2. Everyone in the world knows that beauty is beautiful, but this is evil. Everyone knows that good is good, but this is not good.

3. 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 each other, and front and rear follow each other. Heng Ye.

4. If you do not respect the virtuous, the people will not fight; if you do not value rare goods, the people will not steal; if you do not see the 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.

5. The heaven and the earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs; the saints are unkind and regard the common people as stupid dogs.
