CHAPTER ONE
The Tao that can be spoken of is not the ceaseless Tao
The name that befalls a name is not the ceaseless name
Not-named is the origin of heaven and earth
Named is the beginning of the Ten Thousand Things
Empty of longing, observe the essence
Full of longing, observe the manifestations
Both emerge together, but fluctuate in name
One in the same, a unified mystery
Profound Mystery, the gateway to all that is hidden
