Preface
Introduction
Lao-tzu’s Taoteching
1 The way that becomes a way
2 All the world knows beauty
3 Bestowing no honors
4 The Tao is so empty
5 Heaven and Earth are heartless
6 The valley spirit that doesn’t die
7 Heaven is eternal and Earth is immortal
8 The best are like water
9 Instead of pouring in more
10 Can you keep your crescent soul from wandering
11 Thirty spokes converge on a hub
12 The five colors make our eyes blind
13 Favor and disgrace come with a warning
14 We look but don’t see it
15 The great masters of ancient times
16 Keeping emptiness as their limit
17 During the High Ages people knew they were there
18 When the Great Way disappears
19 Get rid of wisdom and reason
20 Get rid of learning and problems will vanish
21 The appearance of Empty Virtue
22 The incomplete become whole
23 Whispered words are natural
24 Those who tiptoe don’t stand
25 Imagine a nebulous thing
26 Heavy is the root of light
27 Good walking leaves no tracks
28 Recognize the male
29 Trying to govern the world with force
30 Use the Tao to assist your lord
31 Weapons are not auspicious tools
32 The Tao remains unnamed
33 Those who know others are perceptive
34 The Tao drifts
35 Hold up the Great Image
36 What you would shorten
37 The Tao makes no effort at all
38 Higher Virtue isn’t virtuous
39 Of those that became one in the past
40 The Tao moves the other way
41 When superior people hear of the Way
42 The Tao gives birth to one
43 The weakest thing in the world
44 Which is more vital
45 Perfectly complete it seems deficient
46 When the Tao is present in the world
47 Without going out your door
48 Those who seek learning gain every day
49 Sages have no mind of their own
50 Appearing means life
51 The Way begets them
52 There’s a maiden in the world
53 Were I sufficiently wise
54 What you plant well can’t be uprooted
55 He who possesses virtue in abundance
56 Those who know don’t talk
57 Use directness to govern a country
58 Where the government stands aloof
59 In governing people and caring for Heaven
60 Ruling a great state
61 A great state is a watershed
62 The Tao is creation’s sanctuary
63 Act without acting
64 It’s easy to rule while it’s peaceful
65 The ancient masters of the Way
66 The reason the sea can govern a hundred rivers
67 The world calls me great
68 In ancient times
69 In warfare there is a saying
70 My words are easy to understand
71 To understand yet not understand
72 When people no longer fear authority
73 Daring to act means death
74 If people no longer fear death
75 The reason people are hungry
76 When people are born
77 The Way of Heaven
78 Nothing in the world is weaker than water
79 In resolving a great dispute
80 Imagine a small state with a small population
81 True words aren’t beautiful
