16上善若水

『老子』の第八にあります。「上善は水の若し、水は善く万物を利して而も争わず。衆人の悪む所に処る。故に道に幾し。」 水の如くに生きれば、まさに禅の悟りに通じます。

16The Best is Like Water

Found in the 8th chapter of Laozi’s Dao De Jing. “The best character is like water. The water’s goodness is that it benefits the myriad things but does not quarrel, and it willingly goes to where others hate. Thus it is almost like the Dao.” If we live like water, we shall arrive at true Zen enlightenment.

16上善若水

出自老子《道德經》第八章的「上善若水，水善利萬物而不爭。處眾人之所惡，故幾於道。」意為只要像水一樣生活，就能通悟禪理。
