Three Treasures

It may seem that my teaching means nothing;
It describes the infinite, so of course it means nothing;
If it meant something it would long since have been refuted.

Yet I have three treasures which I follow and commend to you:
The first is love,
By which one finds courage.
The second is restraint,
By which one finds strength.
The third is not contending,
By which one finds influence.

Those who are fearless, but without love,
Strong, but without restraint,
Or influential, yet contentious,
Are doomed.

Only love conquers all and is defeated by none.
It is Nature's finest tool and sharpest weapon.
