3. Without Action
作者：李耳 阅读：次 类别：古籍 老子道德经(英译本)
Not praising the worthy prevents contention,
Not esteeming the valuable prevents theft,
Not displaying the beautiful prevents desire. 中国古籍全录
In this manner the sage governs people:
Emptying their minds,
Filling their bellies,
Weakening their ambitions,
And strengthening their bones.
If people lack knowledge and desire
Then they can not act;
If no action is taken
Harmony remains.

Not displaying the beautiful prevents desire. 中国古籍全录
