第五十九章  明德養(yǎng)生

治人事天，莫若嗇。 夫?yàn)閱荩侵^早服。早服謂之重積德。重積德則無不克。無不克則莫知其極。莫知其極，可以有國(guó)；有國(guó)之母，可以長(zhǎng)久；是謂深根固柢，長(zhǎng)生久視之道。

[譯文]

修身養(yǎng)德以合天道，最好的方法就是愛惜生命能量。愛惜精力，才能做到早做準(zhǔn)備。早做準(zhǔn)備就是不斷地去積累先天的宇宙之德。重視天德的積累就無所不能，無所不能便長(zhǎng)久不絕。精力之綿綿不絕就可以發(fā)揮無盡的功效，達(dá)到身體的陰陽平衡；軀體有天德為根基，就可以健康長(zhǎng)久。

這就叫將個(gè)體深植于道德之根本，這才是養(yǎng)生長(zhǎng)久之法。

TheWay of Cultivating Life Enengy

In leading people and following the principles of TAO, there is nothing better than sparing moderation.

Since,indeed, moderation meanspreparing ahead.

Preparing ahead mean preservingthe life energy.

When life energy is preserved,

Nothing is impossible.

When nothing is impossible,

there is no limits.

When there is no limits,

One can come to the harmony ofyin and yang.

With the life energy in balance,

the body comes to blossom inbalance.

This is the way to be deep-rooted and firm-planted in the Tao, The secretof long life and lasting vision.

This means to have deep roots andfirm foundation of life,

this is the road to durablility and longevity based on the model of the Tao.
