Tao Te Ching with 81 Mandalas in Full Color - David Petersen
Chapter 1
Paths can be taken; not so the enduring Way
Terms can be cited; not so the enduring Word
The absence of names is the origin of all creation
For the presence of names is the mother of all creation
It follows that detachment always highlights the mystery
While attachment always highlights the form
Both of these appear together
Different names for the same subtle sense
The subtlety of subtleties
Gateway of all mysteries
Chapter 2
When all under heaven know the beauty of being beautiful
That is ugly
When all know the goodness of being good
That is not good
Presence and absence beget each other
Problems and ease fulfill each other
Length and brevity contrast with each other
Nobility and baseness rely on each other
Music and voice harmonize with each other
Front and back accompany each other
This is why sages economize action in managing their affairs
And practice their doctrines without words
All of creation arises from this with no explanation
Cultivating without ownership
Acting without dependence
Succeeding without dwelling
Because there is no dwelling
There is no leaving
Chapter 3
Do not praise talent
And the people will not quarrel
Do not esteem goods that are hard to obtain
And the people will not steal
Do not showcase your desires
And the people will not be disturbed
Sages govern by emptying the heart
And filling the belly
Weakening ambition
And strengthening physique
Keeping the people uninformed and free of desires
So that even the clever think twice before acting
Act to economize action
And there will be no lack of leadership
Chapter 4
The Way is empty
Yet in application seemingly inexhaustible
How vast! Like the antecedent of all creation
Blunting sharpness, untangling knots, softening lights, equaling dust
How deep! Like a tentative presence
I have no idea who sired it, for it precedes the appearance of the Gods
Chapter 5
Heaven and earth are not benevolent
They treat all creation as straw dogs
Sages are not benevolent
They treat everyone as straw dogs
The gap between heaven and earth
Is it not like a bellows?
Empty, yet never exhausted!
The more it acts, the more is produced
Long discussion is pointless
Unlike staying centered
Chapter 6
The
