Tao te Ching Chapter Eight
from Two Guys talking at the Watercooler Hosted by Center of the Universe (cotu)
Thomas Brill and Brian Parks chatting again. This week we talked about chapter 8 of the Tao te Ching. 1. The highest good is like water; 2. Water is good at benefiting the ten thousand things and yet it [does not] compete [with them]. 3. It dwells in places the masses of people detest, 4. Therefore it is close to the Way. 5. In dwelling, the good thing is the land; 6. In the mind, the good thing is depth; 7. In giving, the good thing is [being like] Heaven; 8. In speaking, the good thing is sincerity; 9. In governing, the good thing is order; 10. In affairs, the good thing is ability; 11. In activity, the good thing is timeliness. 12. It is only because it does not compete, that therefore it is without fault. Here is a link to the audio file for chapter 8 if you are not using iTunes. https://s3.amazonaws.com/tao4two/TtCCh8.mp3
