DISOBEYING THE TAO, OBSCURING TE, HOW CAN A PERSON BE?


(A poem of natural moral wisdom)
 

The sun is rising, the smog is dense, murky heaven and earth

Smog is scattered, lights are shining, the body of a noble person

Complying with the Tao, unfolding Te, common sense

The clouds of selfish desires cover; they cloak a beginner’s mind

Education of natural moral wisdom

Its root: cultivate oneself

Building Te, establishing humans, moral wisdom is enlightened

Disobeying the Tao, obscuring Te, how can a person be?
