dao de jing

The right thing to do isn't always nice, and nice things aren't always true. You can't convince someone to do something by using force, and no one can make someone do something they don't want to. Being wise isn't the same as being knowledgeable, and being knowledgeable isn't the same as being wise. The best way to be blessed is to give to others without expecting anything in return, and to help people without trying to control them. The way of the sky is to do good without causing harm, and the path of the blessed is to help without trying to control.

dao de jing

People who want to help translate the Tao Te Ching into a dictionary can do so without needing anyone's permission. Even if their translation is not perfect, they should still contribute. It is important to remember that wisdom and madness are both valuable and that no one can learn everything in one lifetime.

dao de jing

If someone is feeling down, don't leave them alone. Try to cheer them up with kind words and supportive actions. Respond to their hurt with kindness, but don't give up on them. Instead, try to help them get rid of the bad things in their life.

dao de jing

Having a calm and peaceful mind is like being in a sheltered and fertile valley. You can find energy and tranquility without using your senses or mind, because it comes from nature without any environment. When you enter a meditative state, you stop worrying about what you can or cannot become. It's much more enjoyable to be one with everything, rather than trying to be different.
