The Greatest Gift

"The Way is the source of all things, Good people's treasure and bad people's refuge. Fine words are traded. Noble deeds gain respect. But people who are not good, Why abandon them? So, when the emperor is crowned Or the three dukes are appointed, Rather than sending a gift of jade Carried by four horses, Remain still and offer the Way. Why did the ancients praise the Way? Did they not say it was because you find what you seek And are saved from your wrongdoings? That is why the world praises it."
