DAOISM

The gentle Way of the universe appears to be empty,

yet its usefulness is inexhaustible...
It harmonizes all things
And unites them as one integral whole.
 
Dao Te Ching, 4
 
The virtue of the universe is wholeness
It regards all things as equal
The virtue of the sage is wholeness
He too regards all things as equal
 
Dao Te Ching, 5
 
When people lack a sense of pure spiritual piety
Toward natural life,
then awful things happen in their life.
Therefore, respect where you dwell.
 
Dao Te Ching, 72
