探讨内容：
The heart of the King
Identify with the truth
Live in the sacred world
帛本：
不上贤，使民不争。不贵难得之货，使民不为盗。不见可欲，使民不乱。是以圣人之治也，虚其心，实其腹，弱其志，强其骨，恒使民无知无欲也。使夫知不敢，弗为而已。则无不治矣。
道沖，而用之弗有盈也。渊呵，似万物之宗。锉其兑，解其芬，和其光，同其尘。湛呵，似或若存。吾不知其谁之子也象帝之先。
天地不仁，以万物为刍狗。圣人不仁，以百姓为刍狗。天地之间其犹橐龠舆。虚而不淈，动而俞出。多闻数穷，不若守于中。

不上贤，使民不争；不贵难得之货，使民不为盗；不见可欲，使民不乱。是以圣人之治也，虚其心，实其腹，弱其志，强其骨，恒使民无知、无欲也。使夫知不敢、弗为而已，则无不治矣。
道冲，而用之有弗盈也。渊呵！似万物之宗。锉其兑，解其纷，和其光，同其尘。湛呵！似或存。吾不知其谁之子，象帝之先。
天地不仁，以万物为刍狗；圣人不仁，以百姓为刍狗。天地之间，其犹橐龠乎？虚而不屈，动而俞出。多闻数穷，不若守于中。
