When people see some things as good, other things become bad.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Because every portion of the ...

Because every portion of the body, mind, and spirit yearns for the integration of yin and yang, angelic intercourse is led by the spirit rather than the sexual organs. . . . Where ordinary intercourse unites sex organs with sex organs, angelic cultivation unites spirit with spirit, mind with mind, and every cell of one body with every cell of the other body.

Only fools seek power, and the greatest fools seek it through force.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Words have divided man from w...

Words have divided man from woman,
one from another, this from that,
until only sages know how to put things together.
Without words, without even understanding,
lovers find each other.
The moment of finding is always a surprise,
like meeting an old friend never before known.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Acting without design, occupy...

Acting without design, occupying oneself without making a business of it, finding the great in what is small and the many in the few, repaying injury with kindness, effecting difficult things while they are easy, and managing great things in their beginnings; this is the method of Tao.

Laozi 1311 quotes

When the world is ruled according to the Way, the ghosts lose their power. The ghosts do not really lose their power, but it is not used to harm people.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Nothing in the world is as so...

Nothing in the world is as soft and yielding as water. Yet for dissolving the hard and inflexible, nothing can surpass it. The soft overcomes the hard; the gentle overcomes the rigid. Everyone knows this is true, but few can put it into practice. Therefore the Master remains serene in the midst of sorrow. Evil cannot enter his heart. Because he has given up helping, he is people's greatest help. True words seem paradoxical.

Laozi 1311 quotes

A man's excellence is like th...

A man's excellence is like that of water; It benefits all things without striving; It takes to the low places shunned by men. Water is akin to Tao. . . . In all the earth nothing weaker than water, Yet in attacking the hard, nothing superior, Nothing so certain in wearing down strength: There is no way to resist it. Note then: The weak conquer the strong, The yielding outlast the aggressors.

Laozi 1311 quotes

The superior student listens ...

The superior student listens to the Way and follows it closely. The average student listens to the Way and follows some and some not. The lesser student listens to the Way and laughs out loud. If there were no laughter it would not be the Way.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Pride attaches undue importan...

Pride attaches undue importance to the superiority of one's status in the eyes of others; and shame is fear of humiliation at one's inferior status in the estimation of others. When one sets one's heart on being highly esteemed, and achieves such rating, then he or she is automatically involved in fear of losing status.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Peacefulness is an inner sens...

Peacefulness is an inner sense of calm - it comes from becoming still - in order to reflect and meditate on our inner wisdom and receive answers. A peaceful heart is one that is free from worry and rouble. It's becoming quiet so we can look at things quietly so we can more clearly understand them and thus come up with creative solutions. It is learning to live in the present. Freedom from desire leads to inner peace.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Once you arrive {at a spontan...

Once you arrive {at a spontaneous awareness of the Great Oneness}, remember: it isn't necessary to struggle to maintain unity with it. All you have to do is participate in it.

Laozi 1311 quotes

He who pretends to know a lot ...

He who pretends to know a lot and is capable of everything, knows nothing and is capable of nothing.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Highest good is like water. Be...

Highest good is like water. Because water excels in benefiting the myriad creatures without contending with them and settles where none would like to be, it comes closest to the way.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Can you be still and look inside?If so, then you know the truth is always available, and always responsive.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Mask your brightness. Be at one with the dust of the earth. This is primal union.

Laozi 1311 quotes

Love is the greatest link that we have with those who have temporarily left us.

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.

He who controls others may be ...

He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still.

Time is a created thing. To say 'I don't have time' is to say 'I don't want to.'
