“There is the globe,
The foundation of my bodily existence.
It wears me out with work and duties,
It gives me rest in old age,
It gives me peace in death.
For the on who supplied me with what I needed in life
Will also give me what I need in death.”
― Chuang Tzu

“When affirmation and negation came into being, Tao faded. After Tao faded, then came one-sided attachments. ”
― Chuang Tzu

“Cherish that which is in you and shut out that which is without, for much knowledge is a curse.”
― Chuang Tzu

“Let your heart be at peace.
Watch the turmoil of beings
but contemplate their return.

If you don't realize the source,
you stumble in confusion and sorrow.
When you realize where you come from,
you naturally become tolerant,
disinterested, amused,
kindhearted as a grandmother,
dignified as a king.
Immersed in the wonder of the Tao,
you can deal with whatever life brings you,
And when death comes, you are ready.”
― Chuang Tzu
