Tao of the Day

Your Daily Dose of Taoism

 

Chapter Fifty-Nine

To get mankind to live in peace requires a full detachment

Because only one who is detached knows how to live truthfully

Letting go of everything before dying makes one live righteously

One who lives righteously knows no trouble

For one who knows no trouble, life is unbounded

One who is unbounded, considers the world as his home

One who feels united with creation, lives happily ever after

Then you’ll be rooted again and you’ll stand firmly

Only like that will you live happily ever after and understand everything

Additional Info

Tao of the Day is a site for all things related to the Tao (also spelled Dao). We'll cover the entire Tao Te Ching several times each year, with one chapter being the center of attention each day. You can always comment on past days, but let's try to keep it flowing as the days progress.
