Laozi's Tao Te Ching: What is the way of sage?

Sages are selfless and integrate with the universe.

... Zhuge Changqing

The sage Lao Tzu, whose heart is for the world and benefits the common people, has great merit.

Because Lao Tzu's heart is the world, the Tao Te Ching, a treasure of wisdom left by Lao Tzu to mankind, contains the universe and heaven.

Lao Tzu hopes that people will learn from sages and become saints on earth.

So, what is a saint?

Lao Tzu told in many places in the Tao Te Ching.

The sage Laozi mentioned "sage" in many places in the Tao Te Ching, such as:

Chapter 2: "It is to teach the sages to do nothing and to do things without words."

Chapter 3: "It is to rule by sages, empty their hearts and fill their stomachs."

Chapter 5: "The saints are inhumane and take the people as cud dogs."

Chapter 7: "It is to put the sage before his body, and keep his body outside his body".

Chapter 12: "It takes the sage as the belly rather than the object, so go there and take this". (Zhuge Changqing: Lao Tzu pointed out here that saints have the heart of the world. They don't stick to the details of the world of mortals, and don't waste time on material desires)

Chapter 22: "Sages embrace one as the world style".

Chapter 26: "It is the sage who never leaves the baggage all day long. Although there is a view of honor, Yan is detached".

Chapter 27: "The sage is always good at saving people, so there is no abandonment; the sage is always good at saving things, so there is no abandonment". (Zhuge Changqing: Lao Tzu is here to remind people that to learn from sages, we should cherish the world, be merciful, promote the law and benefit life, spread the predestined, and cultivate the hearts of the people)

Chapter 28: "If the sage uses it, he is the official. Therefore, the great system does not cut off."

Chapter 29: "The sage goes to extremes, extravagance and prosperity".

Chapter 47: "It is based on the saints' failure to know, not to see and not to do."

Chapter 49: "Sages have no permanent mind and take the hearts of the people as their heart... Sages are in the world, and She (x) She is in the world. People pay attention to their eyes and ears, and Sages are all children

Chapter 57: "The sage said," I do nothing and the people are self-centered, I am quiet and the people are self-righteous, I do nothing and the people are white and rich, I have no desire and the people are simple. "

Chapter 58: "It is based on the sage's side without cutting, honesty without separation, straightness without boldness, and light without brilliance."

Chapter 60: "Sages do not hurt people."

Chapter 63: "It is because saints are not great at the end, so they can become great... It is because saints are still difficult, so there is no difficulty at the end."

Chapter 64: "It is based on the saints' inaction without failure, and it is based on the saints' desire without loss... It is based on the saints' desire, and it is not expensive and rare goods."

Chapter 66: "It is to treat the people with respect to the saints, and the people with respect to the saints."

Chapter 70: "It is because saints are surrounded by jade."

Chapter 71: "If a saint is not ill, he will not be ill."

Chapter 72: "It is because the sage knows himself but does not see himself. Self-love is not expensive, so go there and take it."

Chapter 73: "Who knows why heaven is evil? It is difficult for saints."

Chapter 78: "It is said by sages that accepting the same filth is the master of the country. Receiving the country's misfortune is the king of the world."

Chapter 79: "It is the sage who holds the left contract without blaming the children."

Chapter 81: "The sage does not accumulate. He thinks that the more he has, the more he has to deal with others. The way of heaven is to benefit without harm. The way of sage is to fight for nothing."

Zhuge Changqing and Laozi repeatedly emphasized the way of sages, hoping that everyone can learn from sages and become sages. Those who are destined to work together!

Don't do any evil, and do all good.

Zhuge Changqing, I wish you success.

圣人无私，和宇宙融为一体。

……诸葛长青

圣人老子，心为天下，造福苍生，功德无量。

因为老子心为天下，所以，老子给人类留下的智慧宝典《道德经》，包含了宇宙天地大道。

老子希望人们都学习圣人，成为人间圣人。

那么，什么是圣人呢？

老子在《道德经》中多个地方做出讲述。

圣人老子在《道德经》中有许多地方提到“圣人”，譬如：

第二章：“是以圣人处无为之事，行不言之教。”

第三章：“是以圣人之治，虚其心，实其腹。”

第五章：“圣人不仁，以百姓为刍狗。”

第七章：“是以圣人后其身而身先，外其身而身存”。

第十二章：“是以圣人为腹不为目，故去彼取此”。（诸葛长青：老子在这里指出，圣人心有天下，不执着红尘细节，不在物欲上浪费时间）

第二十二章：“圣人抱一为天下式”。

第二十六章：“是以圣人终日行不离辎重。虽有荣观，燕处超然”。

第二十七章：“是以圣人常善救人，故无弃人；常善救物，故无弃物”。（诸葛长青：老子在这里提醒人们，学习圣人，要心怀天下，慈悲无量，弘法利生，普度有缘，度化人心）

第二十八章：“圣人用之，则为官长。故大制不割。”

第二十九章：“是以圣人去甚、去奢、去泰”。

第四十七章：“是以圣人不行而知，不见而名，不为而成。”

第四十九章：“圣人无常心，以百姓心为心……圣人在天下，歙(x)歙为天下浑其心。百姓皆注耳目，圣人皆孩之。（诸葛长青：老子在这里说出圣人的胸怀，他们心有天下，情系苍生，铭记救助天下苍生）

第五十七章：“圣人云，我无为而民自化，我好静而民自正，我无事而民白富，我无欲而民自朴。”

第五十八章：“是以圣人方而不割，廉而不别，直而不肆，光而不耀。”

第六十章：“圣人亦不伤人。”

第六十三章：“是以圣人终不为大，故能成其大……是以圣人犹难之，故终无难矣。”

第六十四章：“是以圣人无为故无败，无执故无失……是以圣人欲不欲，不贵难得之货，”

第六十六章：“是以圣人处上而民不重，处前而民不害。”

第七十章：“是以圣人被褐怀玉。”

第七十一章：“圣人不病，以其病病。是以不病。”

第七十二章：“是以圣人自知不自见，自爱不贵，故去彼取此。”

第七十三章：“天之所恶，孰知其故？是以圣人犹难之。”

第七十八章：“是以圣人云，受同之垢，是谓社稷主。受国不祥，是谓天下王。”

第七十九章：“是以圣人执左契而不责子人。”

第八十一章：“圣人不积，既以为人己愈有，既以与人己愈多。天之道，利而不害。圣人之道，为而不争。”（诸葛长青：老子在这里赞叹圣人无私奉献，不执着于金银财宝，只是一心为众生，奉献自己，造福人类）

诸葛长青，老子反复强调圣人之道，是希望人们人人学习圣贤，成为圣贤一样的人。天下有缘者，一起努力吧！

诸恶莫作，众善奉行。

诸葛长青，祝你成功。
