Tao Te Ching Chapter 40-19 Generosity


Today's Tao

It is only Tao who lends anything generously and accomplishes anything very well. (Ch.40)


Tao is generous. I know you are generous.

C'mon, admit it.

And I know you don't judge anyone or anything in fact.

You help all.

You don't segregate one from another.

I know you don't.

No matter how modestly you insist you do, I don't believe it.

Because you are Tao the fundamental energy.

And Tao creates the world perfectly.

You are doing your job perfectly.

No, no, you must not say:

"Watch TV news and see the catastrophe."

Only you can create the world.

And you are doing it perfectly.

Tao answers your question!



-Jizo. I would like to address him as "O-jizo-san" as Japanese kids call this gentle deity of fertility with affection. Forget Buddhism. Forget its Hindu origin and so on. O-jizo-san simply protects kids. And they adore him until they grow up and start calculating cost per profit ratio. Then, adults grow out of their so-called harsh financial reality and go back to see the nice smile on O-jizo-san. Well, once again we see the cycle.
