Quote from 'The Way Of Life'

34

Bountiful life, letting anyone attend,

Making no distinction between left or right,

Feeding everyone, refusing no one,

Has not provided this bounty to show how much it owns,

Has not fed and clad its guests with any thought of claim;

And, because it lacks the twist

Of mind or body in what it has done,

The guile of head or hands,

Is not always respected by a guest.

Others appreciate welcome from the perfect host

Who, barely appearing to exist,

Exists the most.

Lao Tzu
