So it is said, for him who understands Heavenly joy, life is the working of Heaven; death is the transformation of things. In stillness, he and the yin share a single Virtue; in motion, he and the yang share a single flow.

When there is both name and reality, We dwell in the realm of things; When there is neither name nor reality, We exist in a vacuity of things. We can speak and can think, But the more we speak, the further off we are. What is not yet born cannot be forbidden, What is already dead cannot be prevented. Death and birth are not distant, It's their principle that cannot be seen.

Do not use life to give life to death. Do not use death to bring death to life.

Forget about life, forget about worrying about right and wrong. Plunge into the unknown and the endless and find your place there!

Your life has a limit, but knowledge has none. If you use what is limited to pursue what has no limit, you will be in danger.

The True Man of ancient times knew nothing of loving life, knew nothing of hating death. He emerged without delight; he went back in without a fuss. He came briskly, he went briskly, and that was all. He didn't forget where he began; he didn't try to find out where he would end. He received something and took pleasure in it; he forgot about it and handed it back again.

The true man breathes with his heels.

To have attained to the human form is a source of joy... What an incomparable bliss it is to undergo these countless transitions.

He who knows the activities of Nature lives according to Nature.
