Tao Te Ching Online Chapter 76

The living are soft and yielding; the dead are rigid and stiff. Living plants are flexible and tender; the dead are brittle and dry. Those who are stiff and rigid are the disciple of death. Those who are soft and yielding are the disciples of life. The rigid and stiff will be broken. The soft […]

Tao Te Ching Online Chapter 75

When government’s taxes are too high, people go hungry. When the government is too intrusive, people become rebellious. When the government takes everything they have, people act like life is meaningless. Only those who do not cling to their life can save it. <- Previous || Next->

Tao Te Ching Online Chapter 74

If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to. If you aren’t afraid of dying, there is nothing you can’t achieve. Trying to control the future is like trying to take the master carpenter’s place. When you handle the master carpenter’s tools, chances are that you’ll cut […]

Tao Te Ching Online Chapter 73

The wise use of caution will keep you alive. One is the way to death, and the other is the way to preserve your life. Who can understand the workings of Heaven? The Tao of the universe does not compete, yet wins; does not speak, yet responds; does not command, yet is obeyed; and does […]

Tao Te Ching Online Chapter 72

When people become overly bold, then disaster will soon arrive. Do not meddle with people’s livelihoods; if you respect them, they will in turn respect you. Therefore the Master steps back so that people won’t be confused. He teaches without a teaching, so that people will have nothing to learn. <- Previous || Next->

Tao Te Ching Online Chapter 71

Not-knowing is true knowledge. Presuming to know is a disease. First realize that you are sick; then you can move toward health. The Master is her own physician. She has healed herself of all knowing. Thus she is truly whole. <- Previous || Next->

My teachings are easy to understand and easy to put into practice. Yet your intellect will never grasp them, and if you try to practice them, you’ll fail. My teachings are older than the world. How can you grasp their meaning? If you want to know me, look inside your heart. <- Previous || Next->

Tao Te Ching Online Chapter 67

Some say that my teaching is nonsense. Others call it lofty but impractical. But to those who have looked inside themselves, this nonsense makes perfect sense. And to those who put it into practice, this loftiness has roots that go deep. I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your […]
