Tao Te Ching Chapter 3 - Part 3: Pacify the People (安民章) (Paraphrase)

Tao Te Ching, Chapter 3 Paraphrase by Derek Lin We paraphrase a chapter to demonstrate a complete understanding of the chapter by expressing the original meaning in our own words. Chapter 3 "Pacify the People" (安民章) It is not difficult for us to create a more harmonious life. If we do not single out individuals for praise, we reduce the possibility that people will fight among themselves to be praised. If we do not uphold certain things as hard to obtain and therefore valuable, we reduce the possibility that people will attempt to steal them. If we do not bring up temptations to distract attention, we reduce the possibility that people will get sidetracked, confused, and ultimately lost. The way Tao cultivators live is similar to the way a sage would rule. They reduce their desires and ego, like the sage removing temptations and distractions; they take care of their basic needs, like the sage providing a livable environment; they manage their ambitions, like the sage guiding the competitive drive among people; they strengthen their integrity, like the sage encouraging proper conduct in society. When people no longer use their intelligence to pursue desires, schemers have no leverage over them; when we moderate our own material pursuits, negativity has no power over us. The more we detach, the more we can do… and when we let go of all attachments… there will be nothing beyond our reach. ——————————————————— From Tao Talks with Derek Lin.
