Today I read all about the Three Lessons and then Loyce joined me on the birthday of her daughter to look at #35 which is how old she would have been today.
#35 "The Senses Distract"
Those who know Tao cannot be harmed.
They removed resistance and peace remains,
Even amid great pain and danger.
Exciting the senses will distract people,
While they see Tao as a silly waste of time.
If you look for it you will see nothing
If you listen for it, you will hear nothing
If you use it, it will support you forever.
#67 "The Three Lessons"
Caught in manifestation some people say Tao is stupid.
Others say it is a beautiful idea, but it cannot be achieved.
They cannot see it is neither an idea nor something to be achieved,
Lost in a world of endless solutions they cannot recognize truth.
Tao asks us to live with only 3 things
Compassion, moderation, and humility
With compassion, you will be able to care for all things
Without having to ask if they deserve it.
With moderation, you will be able to be generous,
Without them needing to prove they are worthy of it.
With humility you know you are going to die like all things,
Thus you treat all things with dignity and respect.
Abandoning these will only lead to trouble.
