Tao Te Ching Chapter 56-12 Harm?


Today's Tao

You cannot do it harm. (Ch.56)


Tao is not material.

It has nothing to do with damage.

No matter what you do, you cannot damage Tao.


Zen Master Dogen paraphrases this:

"No one can ever do anything evil."

(Shoakumakusa 諸悪莫作, «Shobogenzo»)

「諸悪さらにつくられざるなり」


If you see something evil, do not judge because it is part of your hologram.

So, something seemingly harmful exists as a catalyst to stimulate you to emit more Love.

Trust Tao.

It is always intact.

No matter what you do, Tao will never ever judge you.

Don't worry.
