Daodejing Shunzhu (道德經順朱)


體道一章

Chapter 1: Embodying the Way

道可道,非常道;名可名,非常名。無名,天地之始;有名,萬物之母。故常無,欲以觀其妙;常有,欲以觀其竅。此兩者,同出而異名,同謂之玄。玄之又玄,眾妙之門。

A truth that can be spoken is not the eternal truth; a name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the origin of heaven and earth; the named is the mother of all things. Thus, through non-attachment, we observe the mystery; through attachment, we observe the manifestations. Both arise from the same source but have different names—both are profound. The depth of depth itself is the gateway to all wonders.

(道,理也,即日用所當行之常理也,可道之道,言也。常,乃不遷不變的意思。名,常名也。始,初也。母,生生不息的意思。妙,奧妙也,深微的意思。竅,關竅也,通徹的意思。此一章示體道之本,宜恆常不變,不可偏觀的意思。日用當行之常道,在眼見,在耳聞,在手捉,在足奔,本不遷變,豈不可言哉?蓋言默不足以載之也。若是可言,則就是言句了,豈是不迀不變的常道。道本無名,強名曰道,此亙古亙今常名也,豈不可名哉?若執此名為實而可名之,豈是不遷不變的常名?能名無名,詎非天地之初乎?杳杳無形,存之可也。暨其有名,詎非萬物之母乎?生生有象,守之可也。由此觀之,宜恆于未始有物之先,以觀察那杳杳無形,何其深微。恆于物色既彰之後,以觀察那生生有象,何其通徹。此有欲無欲,一事兩端,同條共貫,二名一體,統妙統微,俱謂之玄。何也?有欲者,形之彰也。無欲者,神之隱也。神隱深微,可謂玄矣。形猶通徹,玄更玄焉,孰有加于此哉?萬物之妙,咸從斯以出入也。執偏不圓,不善體道者,不可與之言也。)
