as translated by Stephen Mitchell1. “In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple.â€
2. “If you want to become full, let yourself be empty.â€
3. “If you want to be given everything, give everything up.â€
4. “If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich.â€
5. “When there is no desire, all things are at peace.â€
6. “Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.â€
7. “In the pursuit of knowledge, every day something is added.
In the practice of the Tao, every day something is dropped.â€
8. “The Master’s power is like this.
He lets all things come and go effortlessly, without desire.
He never expects results; thus he is never disappointed.
He is never disappointed; thus his spirit never grows old.â€
9. “I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.â€
10. “The Master has no possessions.
The more he does for others, the happier he is.
The more he gives to others, the wealthier he is.â€
