the wise person puts himself last
please donate to world central kitchen
Heaven is
eternal, earth everlasting.
They endure this way because
they do not live for
themselves.
In the same way,
the wise person puts himself
last, and thereby finds himself first;
holds himself outside, and thereby
remains at the center; abandons
himself, and is thereby
fulfilled.

the tao of heaven is impartial
In the
reconciling of resentments,
ill will often lingers. What’s the good
in that? The person who is truly good concerns
herself with what she owes others, never
with what they owe her. The tao of
heaven is impartial. If you
perpetuate it, it
perpetuates
you.

marry yourself to the oneness
Can you
marry your spirit and
body to the oneness and
never depart
from it?
Can you
ride your breath until
your entire being is as supple
as the body of an
infant?
Can you cleanse
your inner vision until you
see heaven in every
direction?
Can you love
people and govern them
without conniving and
manipulating?
Can you bear
heaven’s children in all
that you do and
are?
Can you give
the wisdom of your heart
precedence over the
learning of your
head?
Giving birth,
nourishing life,
shaping things without
possessing them, serving without
expectation of reward, leading without
dominating: these are the profound
virtues of nature, and of nature’s
best beings.

regard the humble as exalted
Act by
not acting,
accomplish by not
straining, understand
by not knowing. Regard the
humble as exalted and the exalted
as humble. Remedy injury
with tranquil
repair.
Meet
the difficult while
it is still easy; cross the
universe one step at a time.
Because the sage doesn’t try
anything too big, she’s able
to accomplish big
things.
Those
who commit lightly
seldom come through.
Those who think everything
is easy will find everything hard.
The sage understands that
everything is difficult, and
thus in the end has no
difficulties.
