The Master observes the world, but trusts his inner vision. He allows things to come and go. His heart is as open as the sky.
If you can find true contentment, it will last forever.
Can you step back from your own mind and thus understand all things?
Embrace simplicity. Put others first. Desire little.
No disaster is worse than being discontented.
When you have accomplished your goal simply walk away. This is the path way to Heaven.
Love the whole world as if it were your self; then you will truly care for all things.
A sage is skilled at helping people without excluding anyone.
The Master doesn’t seek fulfillment. For only those who are not full are able to be used which brings the feeling of completeness.
Quiet your mind and stop judging and resisting and manipulating the natural way.
That which offers no resistance, overcomes the hardest substances.
Can you love or guide someone without any kind of expectation?
Nurture the spontaneous peaceful life.
Don’t impose your will through manipulation of aggressive emotions and actions.
Rule your mind with serenity rather than with force and manipulation.
Approach your own inner life with a loving quality that accepts who you are without trying to change who you are.
If good happens, good; if bad happens, good.
Praise of power leads to weakness; Love of things leads to loss; The wise one leads by filling people’s hearts; He destroys illusion and disturbs those who believe they are wise; He does nothing yet everything happens.
The Tao is like a well; used but never used up.
Conduct your triumph as a funeral.
