Tao Te Ching Chapter 81 The Mission of the Sage 圣人的使命

This Podcast presents Chapter 81 of the Tao Te Ching, focusing on the sage's mission. It contrasts truthful words with empty flattery, and true wisdom with superficial knowledge. The sage, it argues, acts selflessly, benefiting others without seeking reward, mirroring the nurturing yet harmless nature of Heaven. This chapter emphasizes humility, action without contention, and the pursuit of inner virtue over external accolades.
