Tao Te Ching – Lao Tzu – Chapter 16
致虛極，守靜篤。 萬物並作，吾以觀復。 夫物芸芸，各復歸其根。 歸根曰靜，是謂復命。 復命曰常，知常曰明。 不知常，妄作凶。 知常容，容乃公，公乃王，王乃天，天乃道，道乃久，沒身不殆。 Empty yourself of everything. Let the mind become still. Ten thousand things come into being, And I have watched them return. No matter how luxuriantly they flourish, Each must go back to the root from which it came. Returning to the root is called acceptance, It is the …

Let Go-Put Your Heart Down
The woman who was waiting for crossing the river, in the mind of the older monk, was just a human being and someone who needed help.
When the monk put her down on the riverbank, he put her down completely.
那个等待渡河的女子，在坦山和尚的心目中，不过就是一个普通的“众生”，并没有什么男女的分别，仅仅是一个需要帮助，需要“普渡”的众生而已。所以，坦山和尚在将她抱到岸边放下的时候，也就全部把她“放下”了。

Tao Te Ching – Lao Tzu – Chapter 15
古之善為士者，微妙玄通，深不可識。 夫唯不可識，故強為之容。 豫兮若冬涉川；猶兮若畏四鄰；儼兮其若客；渙兮若冰之將釋；敦兮其若樸；曠兮其若谷；混兮其若濁；孰能濁以靜之徐清？ 孰能安以久動之徐生？保此道者，不欲盈。夫唯不盈，故能蔽不新成。 The wise ones of old had subtle wisdom and depth of understanding, So profound that they could not be understood. And because they could not be understood, So must they be thus described: Cautious, like when one crosses an icy stream, Vigilant, like one fearing danger all around, Serious, like one …
Tao Te Ching – Lao Tzu – Chapter 36
將欲歙之，必固張之； 將欲弱之，必固強之； 將欲廢之，必固興之； 將欲奪之，必固與之。 是謂微明。 柔弱勝剛強。 魚不可脫於淵，國之利器不可以示人。 That which shrinks Must first expand. That which weakens Must first be strong. That which is cast down Must first be raised. Before receiving There must be giving. This is called perception of the nature of things. Soft and weak overcome hard and strong. Fish cannot leave …
