结缘一位美国朋友，从他的收藏中看到印刷精致的《道德经》，很是感叹，在此摘录些许，分享给有缘人！

The Tao that can be told

is not the universal Tao.

The name that can be named

is not the universal name.

In the infancy of the universe,

there were no names,

Naming fragments the mysteries of life

into ten thousand things and their manifestations.

Yet mysteries and manifestations

spring from the same source:

The Great Integrity

which is the mystery within manifestation,

the manifestation within mystery,

the naming of the unnamed,

and the un-naming of the named.

When these interpenetrations

are in full attendance,

we will pass the gates of naming notions

in our journey toward transcendence.
