道德經聚會主題（6）- 天下有道，不出於戶

聚會日期：2013年1月24日，12點

探討內容：

Law of Karma 2, the bondage to self

The eyes within

The fulfillment in un-action

帛本：

天下有道，卻走馬以糞；天下無道，戎馬生於郊；罪莫大於可欲，禍莫大於不知足，咎莫憯於欲得。故知足之足，恒足矣

不出於戶，以知天下；不窺於牖，以知天道；其出也彌遠，其知彌少。是以聖人不行而知，不見而名，弗為而成。

參照其他本（通行本46, 47章）：

天下有道，卻走馬以糞，天下無道，戎馬生於郊。禍莫大於不知足；咎莫大於欲得。故知足之足，常足矣。

不出戶，知天下；不窺牖，見天道。其出彌遠，其知彌少。是以聖人不行而知，不見而明，不為而成。
