天下皆谓我道大
Three treasures: compassion, frugality, humility
“I have three treasures I hold and keep: The first is compassion. The second is frugality. The third is daring not to be first in the world.”
天下皆谓我道大,似不肖。夫唯大,故似不肖。若肖,久矣其细也夫!我有三宝,持而保之:一曰慈,二曰俭,三曰不敢为天下先。慈故能勇,俭故能广,不敢为天下先故能成器长。今舍慈且勇,舍俭且广,舍后且先,死矣!夫慈,以战则胜,以守则固。天将救之,以慈卫之。
Three simple treasures: be kind, be moderate, be humble. No philosophy degree required. If you practice these three things daily, your life will transform.
我有三宝持而保之——三件法宝:慈(慈爱)、俭(节俭)、不敢为天下先(谦退)。
慈故能勇——慈爱所以勇敢。
俭故能广——节俭所以宽广。
不敢为天下先故能成器长——谦退所以成为万物之长。
今舍慈且勇舍俭且广舍后且先死矣——舍弃三宝去追逐勇、广、先,是死路。
夫慈以战则胜以守则固——以慈爱作战则胜,防守则固。
