道德经英文版(养德第五十一)
~{ 道生之,德畜之,物形之,势成之。~}
~{ 是以万物莫不尊道而贵德。~}
~{ 道之尊,德之贵,夫莫之命而常自然。~}
~{ 故道生之,德畜之;长之育之;成之熟之;养之覆之。生而不有~}
~{,为而不恃,长而不宰。是谓玄德。~}
51. Nurture
Flow bears all things;
Harmony nurtures them;
Nature shapes them;
Use completes them.
Each follows flow and honors harmony,
Not by law,
But by life.
Flow bears, nurtures, shapes, completes,
Shelters, comforts, and makes a home for them.
Bearing without possessing,
Nurturing without taming,
Shaping without forcing,
This is harmony.
