Daoism quote 7707 | 

share



T he Way, virtue, benevolence, righteousness and propriety are one. The Way is what we practise, and it perfects all beings without their knowledge. Virtue is attained from practising the Way; it enables all beings to be as they should. Benevolence arises from unconditional love, compassion and wisdom; it brings people closer. Righteousness is what we ought to do, for example, rewarding the kind and punishing the unkind. This accomplishes merit and honour. Propriety is what we should practise, for example, rising early and resting at a reasonable time. This accomplishes the orderliness of the human relations.

Form no covetous desire; so that the demon of greediness may not deceive thee and the treasure of the world may not be tasteless to thee, and that of the spirit unperceived.

Commit no lustfulness, so that harm and regret may not reach thee from thine own actions. . . .
Thou should be diligent and moderate . . .
Do not extort from the wealth of others . . .
With a malicious man carry on no conflict, and do not molest him in any way whatever. . . . ’
