The true man breathes with his heels.

There is a beginning. There is no beginning of that beginning ... There is something. There is nothing.

The sage embraces things. Ordinary men discriminate amongst them and parade their discriminations before others. So I say; those who discriminate, fail to see.

Birth is not the beginning, Death is not the end.

Tao is beyond words and beyond things. It is not expressed either in word or in silence. Where there is no longer word or silence Tao is apprehended.

To exercise no-thought and rest in nothing is the first step toward resting in Tao. To start from nowhere and follow no road is the first step toward attaining Tao.

The sound of water says what I think.
