The three treasures from Tao Te Ching

The Tao has just three lessons
restraint, compassion, and love
These are the three treasures


With love you can be courageous
With compassion you can accept all things
With restraint you can lead ......


Be an advocate with love,
and you will wield a great sword
Defend the earth and all its creatures with love
and you will be a mighty shield.....


Can you accept that even for the most vital matters
the way of the Tao is to let events run their course?


Lao Tzu
