Tao Te Ching 50

 Tao Te Ching 50


Those who leave the womb at birth and those who enter their source at death, of these; three out of ten celebrate life, three out of ten celebrate death, and three out of ten simply go from life to death.

What is the reason for this?

Because they are afraid of dying, therefore they cannot live.

I have heard that those who celebrate life walk safely among the wild animals.

When they go into battle, they remain unharmed.

The animals find no place to attack them and the weapons are unable to harm them.

Why?

Because they can find no place for death in them.


Lao Tzu
