Today's Tao
You cannot give benefit to it. (Ch.56)
Tao is not material.
It has nothing to do with benefit.
Let's make it clear.
All the material beings, including so-called benefit, belong to your hologram.
Tao does not belong to the hologram.
Tao manifests itself through the hologram.
Tao has nothing to do with benefit, neither its benefit nor your benefit.
Listen to Zen Master Dogen's caution:
"You don't practice Buddha's manifestation for your own self, not to mention, for your fame or benefit."
(«Gakudo yojin shu 学道用心集»)
夫れ仏法修行は尚自身のためにせず、況んや名聞利養のためにこれを修せんや （鎌田茂雄「正法眼蔵随聞記講話」第一講より）
