35 | 道德經: | 往而不害,安平大。 樂與餌,過客止。 道之出口,淡乎其無味,視之不足見,聽之不足聞,用之不足既。 |
Dao De Jing: | To him who holds in his hands the Great Image (of the invisible Dao), the whole world repairs. Men resort to him, and receive no hurt, but (find) rest, peace, and the feeling of ease. Music and dainties will make the passing guest stop (for a time). But though the Dao as it comes from the mouth, seems insipid and has no flavour, though it seems not worth being looked at or listened to, the use of it is inexhaustible. |

35
To the one who holds the great image,
The whole world will come.
They will come and meet with no harm,
Finding safety, tranquillity and comfort.
Music and food will induce the passer-by to stop,
But when the Tao is spoken of in words, it seems bland and tasteless.
Looked for, it cannot be seen.
Listened for, it cannot be heard.
Use it, and it can never be exhausted.
