Be completely empty,
  Be perfectly serene.
  The ten thousand things arise
  together;
  in their arising is their return.
  Now they flower,
  and flowering
  sink homeward,
  returning to the root.

  The return to the root
  is peace.
  Peace: to accept what must be,
  to know what endures.
  In that knowledge is wisdom.
  Without it, ruin, disorder.

  To know what endures
  is to be openhearted,
  magnanimous,
  regal,
  blessed,
  following the Tao,
  the way that endures forever.
  The body comes to its ending,
  but there is nothing to fear.

Lao Tzu
