Carrying in his breast the boundless image of the Way;
The world is but a path to wend
Wandering without suffering
Settling on the tranquil ground of the boundless
Pleasure and glee, like music and delicacies
Stop the traveler passing by
The Way emerges a mouthful
Bland, mild, tasteless; it holds not a flavour!
Look at its unimpressive visage
Hear its unsatisfactory sound
Use its insufficient ends
執大象
天下往
往而不害
安平太
樂與餌
過客止
道之出口
淡乎其無味
視之不足見
聽之不足聞
用之不足既
