Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第八十一章｜船长朗读版第八十一章信言不美，美言不信。 善者不辩，辩者不善。知者不博，博者不知。圣人不积，既以为人，己愈有；既以与人，己愈多。天之道，利而不害；圣人之道，为而不争。Chapter 81True words aren't eloquent;eloquent words aren't true.Wise men don't need to prove their point;men who need to prove their point aren't wise.The Master has no possessions.The more he does for others,the happier he is.The more he gives to others,the wealthier he is.The Tao nourishes by not forcing.By not dominating, the Master leads.2017-09-1801 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第八十章｜船长朗读版第八十章小国寡民，使有什伯之器而不用，使民重死而不远徙。虽有舟舆，无所乘之；虽有甲兵，无所陈之。使人复结绳而用之，甘其食，美其服，安其居，乐其俗。邻国相望，鸡犬之声相闻，民至老死，不相往来。Chapter 80If a country is governed wisely,its inhabitants will be content.They enjoy the labor of their handsand don't waste time inventinglabor-saving machines.Since they dearly love their homes,they aren't interested in travel.There may be a few wagons and boats, but these don't go anywhere.There may be an arsenal of weapons, but nobody ever uses them.People enjoy their food,take pleasure in being with their families,spend weekends working in their gardens,delight in the doings of the neighborhood.And even though the next country is so close that people can hear its roosters crowing and its do2017-09-1801 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第七十九章｜船长朗读版第七十九章和大怨，必有余怨，安可以为善？是以圣人执左契，而不责于人。有德司契，无德司彻。天道无亲，常与善人。Chapter 79Failure is an opportunity.If you blame someone else,there is no end to the blame.Therefore the Masterfulfills her own obligationsand corrects her own mistakes.She does what she needs to doand demands nothing of others.2017-09-1800 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第七十八章｜船长朗读版第七十八章天下莫柔弱于水，而攻坚强者莫之能胜，其无以易之。弱之胜强，柔之胜刚，天下莫不知莫能行。是以圣人云：“受国之垢，是谓社稷主；受国不祥，是为天下王。”正言若反。Chapter 78Nothing in the worldis as soft and yielding as water.Yet for dissolving the hard and inflexible,nothing can surpass it.The soft overcomes the hard;the gentle overcomes the rigid.Everyone knows this is true,but few can put it into practice.Therefore the Master remainsserene in the midst of sorrow.Evil cannot enter his heart.Because he has given up helping,he is people's greatest help.True words seem paradoxical.2017-09-1801 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第七十七章｜船长朗读版第七十七章天之道，其犹张弓与？高者抑之，下者举之；有余者损之，不足者补之。天之道，损有余而补不足。人之道则不然，损不足以奉有余。孰能有余以奉天下？唯有道者。是以圣人为而不恃，功成而不处，其不欲见贤。Chapter 77As it acts in the world, the Taois like the bending of a bow.The top is bent downward;the bottom is bent up.It adjusts excess and deficiencyso that there is perfect balance.It takes from what is too muchand give to what isn't enough.Those who try to control,who use force to protect their power,go against the direction of the Tao.They take from those who don't have enough and give to those who have far too much.The Master can keep giving because there is no end to her wealth.She acts without expectation,succeeds withou2017-09-1801 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第七十六章｜船长朗读版第七十六章人之生也柔弱，其死也坚强。万物草木之生也柔脆，其死也枯槁。故坚强者死之徒，柔弱者生之徒。是以兵强则不胜，木强则折。强大处下，柔弱处上。Chapter 76Men are born soft and supple;dead, they are stiff and hard.Plants are born tender and pliant;dead, they are brittle and dry.Thus whoever is stiff and inflexibleis a disciple of death.Whoever is soft and yieldingis a disciple of life.The hard and stiff will be broken.The soft and supple will prevail.2017-09-1801 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第七十五章｜船长朗读版第七十五章民之饥，以其上食税之多，是以饥。民之难治，以其上之有为，是以难治。民之轻死，以其求生之厚，是以轻死。夫唯无以生为者，是贤于贵生。Chapter 75When taxes are too high,people go hungry.When the government is too intrusive,people lose their spirit.Act for the people's benefit.Trust them; leave them alone.2017-09-1800 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第七十四章｜船长朗读版第七十四章民不畏死，奈何以死惧之？若使民常畏死，而为奇者，吾得执而杀之。孰敢？常有司杀者杀，夫代司杀者杀，是谓代大匠斫，夫代大匠斫者，稀有不伤其手矣。Chapter 74If 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 futureis like trying to take the master carpenter's place.When you handle the master carpenter's tools,chances are that you'll cut your hand.2017-09-1801 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第七十三章｜船长朗读版第七十三章勇于敢则杀，勇于不敢则活，此两者或利或害。天之所恶，孰知其故？是以圣人犹难之。天之道，不争而善胜，不言而善应，不召而自来，坦然而善谋。天网恢恢，疏而不失。Chapter 73The Tao is always at ease.It overcomes without competing,answers without speaking a word,arrives without being summoned,accomplishes without a plan.Its net covers the whole universe.And though its meshes are wide,it doesn't let a thing slip through.2017-09-1800 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第七十二章｜船长朗读版第七十二章民不畏威，则大威至。无狭其所居，无厌其所生。夫唯无厌，是以不厌。是以圣人自知不自见；自爱不自贵。故去彼取此。Chapter 72When they lose their sense of awe,people turn to religion.When they no longer trust themselves,they begin to depend upon authority.Therefore the Master steps backso that people won't be confused.He teaches without a teaching,so that people will have nothing to learn.2017-09-1800 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第七十一章｜船长朗读版第七十一章知不知，尚矣；不知知，病矣。夫唯病病，是以不病。圣人之不病也，以其病病也，是不病。Chapter 71Not-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.2017-09-1800 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第七十章｜船长朗读版第七十章吾言甚易知，甚易行。天下莫能知，莫能行。言有宗，事有君。夫唯无知，是以不我知。知我者稀，则我者贵。 是以圣人披褐而怀玉。Chapter 70My teachings are easy to understandand 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.2017-09-1800 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第六十九章｜船长朗读版第六十九章用兵有言﹕“吾不敢为主而为客，不敢进寸而退尺。”是谓行无行，攘无臂，仍无敌，执无兵。祸莫大于轻敌，轻敌几丧吾宝。故抗兵相加，哀者胜矣。Chapter 69The generals have a saying:"Rather than make the first moveit is better to wait and see.Rather than advance an inchit is better to retreat a yard."This is calledgoing forward without advancing,pushing back without using weapons.There is no greater misfortunethan underestimating your enemy.Underestimating your enemymeans thinking that he is evil.Thus you destroy your three treasures and become an enemy yourself.When two great forces oppose each other,the victory will go to the one that knows how to yield.2017-09-1801 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第六十八章｜船长朗读版第六十八章善为士者不武，善战者不怒，善胜敌者不与，善用人者为之下，是谓不争之德，是谓用人之力，是谓配天，古之极。Chapter 68The best athletewants his opponent at his best.The best generalenters the mind of his enemy.The best businessmanserves the communal good.The best leaderfollows the will of the people.All of them embodythe virtue of non-competition.Not that they don't love to compete,but they do it in the spirit of play.In this they are like childrenand in harmony with the Tao.2017-09-1800 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第六十七章｜船长朗读版第六十七章天下皆谓我道大，似不肖。夫唯大，故似不肖。若肖，久矣其细也夫！我有三宝，持而保之。一曰慈，二曰俭，三曰不敢为天下先。慈故能勇；俭故能广；不敢为天下先，故能成器长。今舍慈且勇，舍俭且广，舍后且先，死矣。夫慈以战则胜，以守则固。天将救之，以慈卫之。Chapter 67Some 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 greatest treasures.Simple in actions and in thoughts,you return to the source of being.Patient with both friends and enemies,you accord with the way things are.Compassionate toward yourself,you reconcile all beings in the world.2017-09-0901 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第六十六章｜船长朗读版第六十六章江海所以能为百谷王者，以其善下之，故能为百谷王。是以欲上民，必以言下之。欲先民，必以身后之。是以圣人处上而民不重，处前而民不害。是以天下乐推而不厌。以其不争，故天下莫能与之争。Chapter 66All streams flow to the seabecause it is lower than they are.Humility gives it its power.If you want to govern the people,you must place yourself below them.If you want to lead the people,you must learn how to follow them.The Master is above the people,and no one feels oppressed.She goes ahead of the people,and no one feels manipulated.The whole world is grateful to her.Because she competes with no one,no one can compete with her.2017-09-0900 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第六十五章｜船长朗读版第六十五章古之善为道者，非以明民，将以愚之。民之难治，以其智多。故以智治国，国之贼；不以智治国，国之福。知此两者亦稽式。常知稽式，是谓玄德。玄德深矣，远矣，与物反矣，然后乃至大顺。Chapter 65The ancient Mastersdidn't try to educate the people,but kindly taught them to not-know.When they think that they know the answers,people are difficult to guide.When they know that they don't know,people can find their own way.If you want to learn how to govern,avoid being clever or rich.The simplest pattern is the clearest.Content with an ordinary life,you can show all people the wayback to their own true nature.2017-09-0901 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第六十四章｜船长朗读版第六十四章其安易持，其未兆易谋。其脆易泮，其微易散。为之于未有，治之于未乱。合抱之木，生于毫末；九层之台，起于垒土；千里之行，始于足下。为者败之，执者失之。是以圣人无为，故无败，无执，故无失。民之从事，常于几成而败之。不慎终也。 慎终如始，则无败事。是以圣人欲不欲，不贵难得之货；学不学，复众人之所过。以辅万物之自然，而不敢为。Chapter 64What is rooted is easy to nourish.What is recent is easy to correct.What is brittle is easy to break.What is small is easy to scatter.Prevent trouble before it arises.Put things in order before they exist.The giant pine tree grows from a tiny sprout.The journey of a thousand milesstarts from beneath your feet.Rushing into action, you fail.Trying to grasp things, you lose them.Forcing a project to completion,you ruin what was almost ripe.Therefore the Master takes actionby letting things take their course.He remains as calmat the end as at the beginning.He has nothing,thus has nothing to lose.What he desires2017-09-0901 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第六十三章｜船长朗读版第六十三章为无为，事无事，味无味。大小多少，报怨以德。图难于其易，为大于其细；天下难事必作于易，天下大事必作于细。是以圣人终不为大，故能成其大。夫轻诺必寡信，多易必多难。是以圣人犹难之，故终无难矣。Chapter 63Act without doing;work without effort.Think of the small as largeand the few as many.Confront the difficultwhile it is still easy;accomplish the great taskby a series of small acts.The Master never reaches for the great;thus she achieves greatness.When she runs into a difficulty,she stops and gives herself to it.She doesn't cling to her own comfort;thus problems are no problem for her.2017-09-0900 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第六十二章｜船长朗读版第六十二章道者，万物之奥，善人之宝，不善人之所保。美言可以市尊，美行可以加人。人之不善，何弃之有？故立天子，置三公。虽有拱璧以先驷马，不如坐进此道。古之所以贵此道者何？不曰以求得，有罪以免邪？故为天下贵。Chapter 62The Tao is the center of the universe,the good man's treasure,the bad man's refuge.Honors can be bought with fine words,respect can be won with good deeds;but the Tao is beyond all value,and no one can achieve it.Thus, when a new leader is chosen,don't offer to help him with your wealth or your expertise.Offer insteadto teach him about the Tao.Why did the ancient Masters esteem the Tao?Because, being one with the Tao,when you seek, you find;and when you make a mistake, you are forgiven.That is why everybody loves it.2017-09-0901 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第六十一章｜船长朗读版第六十一章大国者下流，天下之交，天下之牝，牝常以静胜牡，以静为下。故大国以下小国，则取小国；小国以下大国，则取大国。故或下以取，或下而取。大国不过欲兼畜人，小国不过欲入事人。夫两者各得其所欲，大者宜为下。Chapter 61When a country obtains great power,it becomes like the sea:all streams run downward into it.The more powerful it grows,the greater the need for humility.Humility means trusting the Tao,thus never needing to be defensive.A great nation is like a great man:When he makes a mistake, he realizes it.Having realized it, he admits it.Having admitted it, he corrects it.He considers those who point out his faults as his most benevolent teachers.He thinks of his enemyas the shadow that he himself casts.If a nation is centered in the Tao,if it nourishes it2017-08-3001 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第六十章｜船长朗读版第六十章治大国，若烹小鲜。以道莅天下，其鬼不神；非其鬼不神，其神不伤人；非其神不伤人，圣人亦不伤人。夫两不相伤，故德交归焉。Chapter 60Governing a large countryis like frying a small fish.You spoil it with too much poking.Center your country in the Taoand evil will have no power.Not that it isn't there,but you'll be able to step out of its way.Give evil nothing to opposeand it will disappear by itself.2017-08-3000 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第五十九章｜船长朗读版第五十九章治人事天，莫若啬。夫唯啬，是谓早服；早服谓之重积德；重积德则无不克，无不克则莫知其极；莫知其极，可以有国；有国之母，可以长久。是谓深根固柢，长生久视之道。Chapter 59For governing a country wellthere is nothing better than moderation.The mark of a moderate manis freedom from his own ideas.Tolerant like the sky,all-pervading like sunlight,firm like a mountain,supple like a tree in the wind,he has no destination in viewand makes use of anythinglife happens to bring his way.Nothing is impossible for him.Because he has let go,he can care for the people's welfareas a mother cares for her child.2017-08-3001 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第五十八章｜船长朗读版第五十八章其政闷闷，其民淳淳；其政察察，其民缺缺。祸兮福之所倚，福兮祸之所伏。孰知其极？其无正，正复为奇，善复为妖，人之迷，其日固久。是以圣人方而不割，廉而不刿，直而不肆，光而不耀。Chapter 58If a country is governed with tolerance,the people are comfortable and honest.If a country is governed with repression,the people are depressed and crafty.When the will to power is in charge,the higher the ideals, the lower the results.Try to make people happy,and you lay the groundwork for misery.Try to make people moral,and you lay the groundwork for vice.Thus the Master is contentto serve as an exampleand not to impose her will.She is pointed, but doesn't pierce.Straightforward, but supple.Radiant, but easy on the eyes.2017-08-3001 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第五十七章｜船长朗读版第五十七章以正治国，以奇用兵，以无事取天下。吾何以知其然哉？以此。天下多忌讳，而民弥贫；民多利器，国家滋昏；人多技巧，奇物滋起；法令滋彰，盗贼多有。故圣人云：“我无为而民自化，我好静而民自正，我无事而民自富，我无欲而民自朴。”Chapter 57If you want to be a great leader,you must learn to follow the Tao.Stop trying to control.Let go of fixed plans and concepts,and the world will govern itself.The more prohibitions you have,the less virtuous people will be.The more weapons you have,the less secure people will be.The more subsidies you have,the less self-reliant people will be.Therefore the Master says:I let go of the law,and people become honest.I let go of economics,and people become prosperous.I let go of religion,and people become serene.I let go of all desire for the common go2017-08-3001 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第五十六章｜船长朗读版第五十六章知者不言，言者不知。塞其兑，闭其门，挫其锐，解其纷，和其光，同其尘，是谓玄同。故不可得而亲，不可得而疏；不可得而利，不可得而害；不可得而贵，不可得而贱。故为天下贵。Chapter 56Those who know don't talk.Those who talk don't know.Close your mouth,block off your senses,blunt your sharpness,untie your knots,soften your glare,settle your dust.This is the primal identity.Be like the Tao.It can't be approached or withdrawn from,benefited or harmed,honored or brought into disgrace.It gives itself up continually.That is why it endures.2017-08-3001 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第五十五章｜船长朗读版第五十五章含德之厚，比于赤子。毒虫不螫，猛兽不据，攫鸟不搏。骨弱筋柔而握固。未知牝牡之合而脧作，精之至也。终日号而不嗄，和之至也。知和曰常，知常曰明，益生曰祥，心使气曰强。物壮则老，谓之不道，不道早已。Chapter 55He who is in harmony with the Taois like a newborn child.Its bones are soft, its muscles are weak,but its grip is powerful.It doesn't know about the unionof male and female,yet its penis can stand erect,so intense is its vital power.It can scream its head off all day,yet it never become hoarse,so complete is its harmony.The Master's power is like this.He lets all things come and goeffortlessly, without desire.He never expects results;thus he is never disappointed.He is never disappointed;thus his spirit neve2017-08-3001 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第五十四章｜船长朗读版第五十四章善建者不拔，善抱者不脱，子孙以祭祀不辍。 修之于身，其德乃真；修之于家，其德乃余；修之于乡，其德乃长；修之于国，其德乃丰；修之于天下，其德乃普。故以身观身，以家观家，以乡观乡，以国观国，以天下观天下。吾何以知天下然哉？以此。Chapter 54Whoever is planted in the Taowill not be rooted up.Whoever embraces the Taowill not slip away.Her name will be held in honorfrom generation to generation.Let the Tao be present in your lifeand you will become genuine.Let it be present in your familyand your family will flourish.Let it be present in your countryand your country will be an exampleto all countries in the world.Let it be present in the universeand the universe will sing.How do I know this is true?By looking inside myself.2017-08-3001 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第五十三章｜船长朗读版第五十三章使我介然有知，行于大道，唯施是畏。大道甚夷，而民好径。朝甚除，田甚芜，仓甚虚；服文彩，带利剑，厌饮食，财货有余。是为盗夸。非道也哉﹗Chapter 53The great Way is easy,yet people prefer the side paths.Be aware when things are out of balance.Stay centered within the Tao.When rich speculators prosperWhile farmers lose their land;when government officials spend money on weapons instead of cures;when the upper class is extravagant and irresponsible while the poor have nowhere to turn.All this is robbery and chaos.It is not in keeping with the Tao.2017-08-3001 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第五十二章｜船长朗读版第五十二章天下有始，以为天下母。既得其母，以知其子；既知其子，复守其母，没身不殆。塞其兑，闭其门，终身不勤；开其兑，济其事，终身不救。见小曰明，守柔曰强。用其光，复归其明，无遗身殃，是为习常。Chapter 52In the beginning was the Tao.All things issue from it;all things return to it.To find the origin,trace back the manifestations.When you recognize the childrenand find the mother,you will be free of sorrow.If you close your mind in judgementsand traffic with desires,your heart will be troubled.If you keep your mind from judgingand aren't led by the senses,your heart will find peace.Seeing into darkness is clarity.Knowing how to yield is strength.Use your own lightand return to the source of light.This is called practi2017-08-3001 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第五十一章｜船长朗读版第五十一章道生之，德畜之，物形之，势成之。是以万物莫不尊道而贵德。道之尊，德之贵，夫莫之命而常自然。故道生之，德畜之。长之育之，亭之毒之，养之覆之。生而不有，为而不恃， 长而不宰。是谓玄德。Chapter 51Every being in the universeis an expression of the Tao.It springs into existence,unconscious, perfect, free,takes on a physical body,lets circumstances complete it.That is why every beingspontaneously honors the Tao.The Tao gives birth to all beings,nourishes them, maintains them,cares for them, comforts them, protects them, takes them back to itself,creating without possessing,acting without expecting,guiding without interfering.That is why love of the Taois in the very nature of things.2017-08-3001 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第五十章｜船长朗读版第五十章出生入死。生之徒，十有三；死之徒，十有三；人之生，动之死地，亦十有三。夫何故？以其生生之厚。盖闻善摄生者，陆行不遇兕虎，入军不被甲兵；兕无所投其角，虎无所措其爪，兵无所容其刃。夫何故？以其无死地。Chapter 50The Master gives himself upto whatever the moment brings.He knows that he is going to die,and he has nothing left to hold on to:no illusions in his mind,no resistances in his body.He doesn't think about his actions;they flow from the core of his being.He holds nothing back from life;therefore he is ready for death,as a man is ready for sleepafter a good day's work.2017-08-1701 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第四十九章｜船长朗读版第四十九章圣人无常心，以百姓心为心。善者吾善之，不善者吾亦善之，德善。信者吾信之，不信者，吾亦信之，德信。圣人在天下怵怵，为天下浑其心，百姓皆注其耳目，圣人皆孩之。Chapter 49The Master has no mind of her own.She works with the mind of the people.She is good to people who are good.She is also good to people who aren't good.This is true goodness.She trusts people who are trustworthy.She also trusts people who aren't trustworthy.This is true trust.The Master's mind is like space.People don't understand her.They look to her and wait.She treats them like her own children.2017-08-1501 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第四十八章｜船长朗读版第四十八章为学日益，为道日损，损之又损，以至于无为，无为而无不为。取天下常以无事，及其有事，不足以取天下。Chapter 48In pursuit of knowledge,every day something is added.In the practice of the Tao,every day something is dropped.Less and less do you need to force things,until finally you arrive at non-action.When nothing is done,nothing is left undone.True mastery can be gainedby letting things go their own way.It can't be gained by interfering.2017-08-1401 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第四十七章｜船长朗读版第四十七章不出户，知天下；不窥牖，见天道。其出弥远，其知弥少。是以圣人不行而知，不见而名，不为而成。Chapter 47Without opening your door,you can open your heart to the world.Without looking out your window,you can see the essence of the Tao.The more you know,the less you understand.The Master arrives without leaving,sees the light without looking,achieves without doing a thing.2017-08-1001 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第四十六章｜船长朗读版第四十六章天下有道，却走马以粪。 天下无道，戎马生于郊。罪莫大于可欲；祸莫大于不知足；咎莫大于欲得。故知足之足，常足矣。Chapter 46When a country is in harmony with the Tao,the factories make trucks and tractors.When a country goes counter to the Tao,warheads are stockpiled outside the cities.There is no greater illusion than fear,no greater wrong than preparing to defend yourself,no greater misfortune than having an enemy.Whoever can see through all fearwill always be safe.2017-08-0701 min

Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第四十二章｜船长朗读版第四十二章道生一，一生二，二生三，三生万物。万物负阴而抱阳，冲气以为和。人之所恶，唯孤、寡、不谷，而王公以为称。故物或损之而益，或益之而损。人之所教，我亦教之。强梁者不得其死，吾将以为教父。Chapter 42The Tao gives birth to One.One gives birth to Two.Two gives birth to Three.Three gives birth to all things.All things have their backs to the female and stand facing the male.When male and female combine,all things achieve harmony.Ordinary men hate solitude.But the Master makes use of it,embracing his aloneness, realizinghe is one with the whole universe.2017-08-0101 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第四十一章｜船长朗读版第四十一章上士闻道，勤而行之；中士闻道，若存若亡；下士闻道，大笑之。不笑，不足以为道。故建言有之，明道若昧，进道若退，夷道若纇，上德若谷，大白若辱，广德若不足，建德若偷，质真若渝，大方无隅，大器晚成，大音希声，大象无形，道隐无名。夫唯道，善贷且成。Chapter 41When a superior man hears of the Tao,he immediately begins to embody it.When an average man hears of the Tao,he half believes it, half doubts it.When a foolish man hears of the Tao,he laughs out loud.If he didn't laugh,it wouldn't be the Tao.Thus it is said:The path into the light seems dark,the path forward seems to go back,the direct path seems long,true power seems weak,true purity seems tarnished,true steadfastness seems changeable,true clarity seems obscure,the greatest art seems unsophisticated,the greatest love seems indiffere2017-07-3101 min

Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第三十九章｜船长朗读版第三十九章昔之得一者，天得一以清，地得一以宁，神得一以灵，谷得一以盈，万物得一以生，侯王得一以为天下正。其致之，天无以清将恐裂，地无以宁将恐废，神无以灵将恐歇，谷无以盈将恐竭，万物无以生将恐灭，侯王无以贵高将恐蹶。故贵以贱为本，高以下为基。是以侯王自称孤、寡、不谷。此非以贱为本邪？非乎？故致数舆无舆，不欲琭琭如玉，珞珞如石。Chapter 39In harmony with the Tao,the sky is clear and spacious,the earth is solid and full,all creature flourish together,content with the way they are,endlessly repeating themselves,endlessly renewed.When man interferes with the Tao,the sky becomes filthy,the earth becomes depleted,the equilibrium crumbles,creatures become extinct.The Master views the parts with compassion,because he understands the whole.His constant practice is humility.He doesn't glitter like a jewelbut lets himself be shaped by the Tao, as rugged and common as stone.2017-07-2501 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第三十八章｜船长朗读版第三十八章上德不德，是以有德；下德不失德，是以无德。上德无为而无以为；下德无为而有以为。上仁为之而无以为；上义为之而有以为。上礼为之而莫之应， 则攘臂而扔之。故失道而后德，失德而后仁，失仁而后义，失义而后礼。夫礼者，忠信之薄，而乱之首。前识者，道之华，而愚之始。是以大丈夫处其厚，不居其薄；处其实，不居其华。故去彼取此。Chapter 38The Master doesn't try to be powerful;thus he is truly powerful.The ordinary man keeps reaching for power;thus he never has enough.The Master does nothing,yet he leaves nothing undone.The ordinary man is always doing things,yet many more are left to be done.The kind man does something,yet something remains undone.The just man does something,and leaves many things to be done.The moral man does something,and when no one respondshe rolls up his sleeves and uses force.When the Tao is lost, there is goodness.When goodness is lost, there is morality.When morality is lost, there is ritual.Ritual is the husk of true faith2017-07-2302 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第三十七章｜船长朗读版第三十七章道常无为，而无不为。侯王若能守之，万物将自化。化而欲作，吾将镇之以无名之朴。无名之朴，夫亦将无欲。不欲以静，天下将自定。Chapter 37The Tao never does anything,yet through it all things are done.If powerful men and womencould venter themselves in it,the whole world would be transformed by itself, in its natural rhythms.People would be contentwith their simple, everyday lives,in harmony, and free of desire.When there is no desire,all things are at peace.2017-07-2100 min

Empty.Solitary. Unchanging.Infinite. Eternally present.It is the mother of the universe.For lack of a better name,I call it the Tao.It flows through all things,inside and outside, and returnsto the origin of all things.The Tao is great.The universe is great.Earth is great.Man is great.These are the four great powers.Man follows the earth.Earth follows the universe.The universe follows the Tao.The Tao follows only itself.2017-06-2101 min

Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第六章｜船长朗读版第六章谷神不死，是谓玄牝。玄牝之门，是谓天地根。绵绵若存，用之不勤。Chapter 6The Tao is called the Great Mother:empty yet inexhaustible,it gives birth to infinite worlds.It is always present within you.You can use it any way you want.2017-05-1900 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第五章｜船长朗读版第五章天地不仁，以万物为刍狗； 圣人不仁，以百姓为刍狗。天地之间，其犹橐龠乎﹖虚而不屈，动而愈出。 多言数穷，不如守中。Chapter 5The Tao doesn't take sides;it gives birth to both good and evil.The Master doesn't take sides;she welcomes both saints and sinners.The Tao is like a bellow:The more you use it, the more it produces;The more you talk of it, the less you understand.Hold on to the center. 2017-05-1800 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第四章｜船长朗读版第四章道冲而用之或不盈，渊兮似万物之宗；湛兮似或存。吾不知谁之子，象帝之先。Chapter 4The Tao is like a well:used but never used up.It is like the eternal void:filled with infinite possibilities.It is hidden but always present.I don't know who gave birth to it.It is older than God.更多英文学习内容请关注公众微信：苦瓜美语2017-05-1600 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第三章｜船长朗读版第三章不尚贤，使民不争；不贵难得之货，使民不为盗；不见可欲，使民心不乱。是以圣人之治，虚其心，实其腹， 弱其志，强其骨。常使民无知无欲。使夫智者不敢为也。为无为，则无不治。Chapter 3If you over-esteem great men,people become powerless.If you overvalue possessions,people begin to steal.The Master leadsby emptying people's mindsand filling their cores,by weakening their ambitionand toughening their resolve.He helps people lose everythingthey know, everything they desire,and creates confusionin those who think that they know.Practice not-doing,and everything will fall into place.2017-05-1501 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第二章｜船长朗读版第二章天下皆知美之为美，斯恶已。皆知善之为善，斯不善已。故有无相生，难易相成，长短相形，高下相倾，音声相和，前后相随。是以圣人处无为之事，行不言之教；万物作焉而不辞，生而不有，为而不恃， 功成而弗居。夫唯弗居，是以不去。Chapter 2When people see some things as beautiful,other things become ugly.When people see some some things as good,other things become bad.Being and non-being create each other.Difficult and easy support each other.Long and short define each oter.High and low depend on each other.Before and after follow each other.Therefore the Master acts without doing anything and teaches without saying anyting.Things arise and she lets them come;Things disappear and she lets them go.She has but doesn't possess,acts but doesn't expect.That is why it lasts forever.2017-05-1401 min
Cary Chan《道德经》英文版第一章｜船长朗读版第一章道可道，非常道。名可名，非常名。无名天地之始，有名万物之母。故常无欲以观其妙；常有欲以观其徼。此两者同出而异名，同谓之玄，玄之又玄，众妙之门。Chapter 1The tao that can be toldis not the eternal Tao.The name that can be namedis not the eternal Name.The unnamable is the eternally real.Naming is the originof all particular things.Free from desire, you realize the mystery.Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.Yet mystery and manifestationsarise from the same source.This source is called darkness.Darkness within darkness.The gateway to all understanding.更多英文学习内容请关注公众微信：苦瓜美语2017-05-1201 min

Are they truly unable to tell the light is burning them alive? Is the power of what they confront so far beyond their comprehension that they have no choice but to be consumed? Or are they the only creatures brave enough to embrace the truth that death is the only goal worth pursuing in life? So With hundreds of questions in his little head, he stepped closer to the moth.
