Heaven arms with pity those whom it would not see destroyed. But pity cannot fight without conquering or guard without saving. Is truly able to become chief of all Ministers.Īt present your bravery is not based on pity, nor your profusion on frugality, nor your vanguard on your rear and this is death. Only he that refuses to be foremost of all things Only he that is frugal is able to be profuse. Guard and keep them! The first is pity the second, frugality the third, refusal to be 'foremost of all things under heaven'.įor only he that pities is truly able to be brave
As for things that do not seem like folly - well, there can be no question about their smallness! But it is just because it is great, that it seems like folly. Sanbao "three treasures" first occurs in Tao Te Ching chapter 67, which Lin Yutang says contains Laozi's "most beautiful teachings": Although the Tao Te Ching originally used sanbao to mean " compassion", " frugality", and " humility", the term was later used to translate the Three Jewels ( Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha) in Chinese Buddhism, and to mean the Three Treasures ( jing, qi, and shen) in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The Three Treasures or Three Jewels are basic virtues in Taoism.
