Tao Te Ching, Chapter 76 [Original]
Man is weak in life, but strong in death; The life of plants and trees is also brittle, and its death is withered.
Therefore the strong are dead, and the weak are alive.
If the soldier is strong, it will be destroyed, and if the wood is strong, it will be broken. Where the strong are below, the weak are above.
Tao Te Ching, Chapter 76 and the Month of Equilibrium ^23
Today, we enter the seventy-sixth chapter of "Enlightenment Experience"
1. Strength is an excellent ability, and if there is weakness behind it, it will become a great blessing for all beings in heaven and earth.
Second, when you are down, you still go to be strong, this is to hit a stone with an egg. In adversity, learning to guard the weak and clumsy is the best policy, and patience is the great wisdom of the weak against the strong.
Third, the law of life is soft, hard, what is good about rigidity, what is good about living, and soft life has vitality and growth.
Fourth, people must be weak in heaven and earth, and they must take the initiative to develop together with the environment - let themselves love their family, love the country, and love the earth.
Fifth, the principle of life is to look at growth, not to look at what exists. Momentary gains and losses cannot determine a lifetime, and every winter is followed by spring flowers.
6. The direction of the tree is determined by light; The direction of the person is determined by the heart. Let it go, the mind is calm and wise, and the heart is good.
Seventh, encountering blows and pain is actually a good thing, because grievances have strengthened the pattern, pain has strengthened the mind, and with the measure, life will grow better.
8. The true power of life comes from within, not from without. The truly strong are weak, simple and resilient, just like babies, which make people happy to see.
9. In life, fame, fortune and power will not always accompany each other, but quality and merit will always follow. When I realized that "my body does not belong to me, it is a body that serves the people", life began to grow rapidly.
10. As the root of things, the heart is the root of virtue, and sex is the root of life. No matter how well the body is cared for, it only accounts for 10% of life; The mentality is perfect, accounting for 40%; Only when the nature is brought into full play can the last 50% be made up.
