Today's Tao
If you underestimate the enemy, you have almost lost my treasures. (Ch.69)
What are your treasures?
We have three treasures.
In Tao Te Ching, those three treasures are:
1. Send Love.
2. Don't waste any.
3. Try not to be the first.
(☞See 3 treasures 67-4)
On the other hand, for the Buddhists, their three treasures are:
1. Buddha.
2. Manifestation.
3. Company.
Let's decode them.
1. Buddha is another name of Love, Tao, or the Higher Being.
2. Holograms are Buddha's manifestation (=Dharma). Don't waste your hologram.
3. Your company, your enemy, and the rest are part of your hologram. Why do you have to prove that you are better than them?
[Note]
Buddhists in China used the expression "three treasures 三宝 [san po]" found in Tao Te Ching to translate the Sanskritic word "Tri-ratna". (Osamu Kanaya 金谷治, «Roshi 老子»)
