dedication Man abandoned Nature and attended to the development of his mind. Mind rubbed against mind and produced knowledge, but as knowledge was not adequate to bring peace to the world, they re- sorted to cultural refinement and learning and scholarship. Cultural refinement destroyed the inner character of man and scholarship and learning sub- merged man's mind. From that time on, the people were per- plexed and confused and lost the way whereby they could recover their original nature and return to the original state. LAO TSE When gold and jade fill your hall You will not be able to keep them safe To be proud with wealth and honor ls to sow the seeds of one's downfall Retire when your work is done, Such is heaven's way.

oldiers are vveapons of evil. They are not the Weapons ofthe gentle man. When the use of soldiers can not be helped The best policy is calm restraint. Even in victory there is no beauty, And who calls it beautiful ls one vvho delights in slaughter. He vvho delights in slaughter Will not succeed in his ambition to rule the vvorld. SUZUKI The Heaven and Earth join, And the sweet rain falls, Beyond the command of men, Yet evenly upon all. Then human civilisation arose and there vvere names. Since there vvere names, lt were well one knew where to stop. He vvho knovvs vvhere to stop May be exempt from danger. Tao in the world May be compared to rivers that run into the sea. LAC TSE 1 4
