Hold on to the ancient Way to master the present, and to learn the distant beginning.

When family ties are disturbed, devoted children arise.

Use the Light that dwells within you to regain your natural clarity of sight.

Laozi 1311 quotes

There is no need to run outside for better seeing... Rather abide at the center of your being; For the more you leave it the less you learn. Search your heart and see... The way to do is to be.

Laozi 1311 quotes

In dwelling, be close to the ...

In dwelling, be close to the land. In meditation, go deep in the heart. In dealing with others, be gentle and kind. In speech, be true. In ruling, be just. In daily life, be competent. In action, be aware of the time and the season.

Laozi 1311 quotes

The new life created by the f...

The new life created by the final integration is self-aware yet without ego, capable of inhabiting a body yet not attached to it, and guided by wisdom rather than emotion. Whole and virtuous, it can never die.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Weapons are instruments of fear; they are not a wise man's tools. He uses them only when he has no choice.

There is no calamity greater than lightly engaging in war.

The mystical techniques for achieving immortality are revealed only to those who have dissolved all ties to the gross worldly realm of duality, conflict, and dogma. As long as your shallow worldly ambitions exist, the door will not open.

Laozi 1311 quotes

A good traveler has no fixed ...

A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving. A good artist lets his intuition lead him wherever it wants. A good scientist has freed himself of concepts and keeps his mind open to what is.

Laozi 1311 quotes

All things issue from it; all...

All things issue from it; all things return to it. To find the origin, trace back the manifestations. When you recognize the children and find the mother, you will be free of sorrow. If you close your mind in judgements and traffic with desires, your heart will be troubled. If you keep your mind from judging and aren't led by the senses, your heart will find peace. Seeing into darkness is clarity. Knowing how to yield is strength. Use your own light and return to the source of light. This is called practicing eternity.

Laozi 1311 quotes

The more prohibitions you hav...

The more prohibitions you have, the less virtuous people will be. Try to make people moral, and you lay the groundwork for vice.

Laozi 1311 quotes

A tree that can fill the span...

A tree that can fill the span of a man's arms grows from a downy tip; A terrace nine stories high rises from level earth; A journey of a thousand miles starts from beneath one's feet.

Laozi 1311 quotes

The Tao is unpredictable to those that live according to plans. Only those who have no agenda are in harmony with the Tao.

Laozi 1311 quotes

All things of the world are b...

All things of the world are born of being; being is born of nonbeing.

Laozi 1311 quotes

If you close your mind in judgements and traffic with desires, your heart will be troubled. If you keep your mind from judging and aren't led by the senses, your heart will find peace.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.

Laozi 1311 quotes

The difficult problems in life always start off being simple. Great affairs always start off being small.

Laozi 1311 quotes

There are three layers to the universe. In the lower, Tai Ching, and the middle, Shan Ching, the hindrance of a physical bodily existence is required. Those who fail to live consistently in accord with the Tao reside here. In the upper, Yu Ching, there is only Tao: the bondage of form is broken, and the only thing existing is the exquisite energy dance of the immortal divine beings.

Laozi 1311 quotes

The best athlete wants his opponent at his best. The best general enters the mind of his enemy. The best businessman serves the communal good. The best leader follows the will of the people. All of the embody the virtue of non-competition. Not that they don't love to compete, but they do it in the spirit of play. In this they are like children and in harmony with the Tao.
