Tao Te Ching Chapter 40 | Lao-Tzu | Comparative Translations

The Way of Virtue





The movement of the Tao By contraries proceeds; And weakness marks the course Of Tao's mighty deeds. All things under heaven sprang from It as existing (and named); that existence sprang from It as non-existent (and not named).

Return is the movement of the Tao.

Yielding is the way of the Tao.


All things are born of being.

Being is born of non-being.

​
