3 Page 3 of 39 Tao Te Ching chapter Seven The Tao is infinite, eternal.

4 Page 4 of 39 Why is it eternal? It was never born; thus it can never die..

5 Why Page 5 of 39 is it infinite? It has NO desires for itself; thus it is present for all beings.

6 Page 6 of 39 The master stays behind; that is why she is ahead.

7 Page 7 of 39 She is detached from all things; that is why she is one with them.

8 Page 8 of 39 Because she has let go of herself, she is perfectly fulfilled.

9 Page 9 of 39 Tao Te Ching chapter Eight The supreme good is like water which nourishes all things without trying to.

10 Page 10 of 39 It is content with the low places that people distain. Thus it is like the Tao.

11 Page 11 of 39 In dwelling, live close to the ground.

12 Page 12 of 39 In thinking, keep to the simple.

13 Page 13 of 39 In conflict, be fair and generous.

14 Page 14 of 39 In governing, do NOT try to control.

15 Page 15 of 39 In work, do what you enjoy.

16 Page 16 of 39 In family life, be completely present.

17 Page 17 of 39 When you are content to be simply yourself

18 Page 18 of 39 and do NOT compare or compete everybody will respect you.

19 Page 19 of 39 Tao Te Ching chapter Nine Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill.

20 Page 20 of 39 Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt.

21 Page 21 of 39 Chase after money and security and your heart will NEVER unclench.

22 Page 22 of 39 Care about people s approval and your will be their prisoner.

23 Page 23 of 39 Do your work, then step back; the only path to serenity.

24 Page 24 of 39 Tao Te Ching chapter Ten Can you coax your mind from it s wandering and keep to the original oneness?

25 Page 25 of 39 Can you let your body become supple as a newborn child s?

26 Page 26 of 39 Can you cleanse your inner vision until you see nothing but the light?

27 Page 27 of 39 Can you love people and lead them without imposing your will?

28 Page 28 of 39 Can you deal with the most vital matters by letting events take their course?

29 Page 29 of 39 Can you step back from your own mind and thus understand all things?

30 Page 30 of 39 Giving birth and nourishing, having without possessing

31 acting Page 31 of 39 with NO expectations leading and NOT trying to control; this is the supreme virtue.

32 Page 32 of 39 Tao Te Ching chapter Eleven We join spokes together in a wheel, but it is the center hole that makes the wagon move.

33 Page 33 of 39 We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want.

34 Page 34 of 39 We hammer wood for a house, but it is the inner space that makes it livable.

35 Page 35 of 39 We work with being, but NON-being is what we use.

36 Page 36 of 39 Tao Te Ching chapter Twelve Colors blind the eye. Sounds deafen the ear.

37 Page 37 of 39 Flavors numb the taste. Thoughts weaken the mind. Desires wither the heart.

38 Page 38 of 39 The sage observes the world but trusts his inner vision.

39 Page 39 of 39 He allows things to come and go. His heart is open as the sky.
