If there is a good store of Virtue, nothing is impossible.

If nothing is impossible, there are no limits.
If a person knows no limits, he is fit to be Ruler.
(Tao Te Ching 59)

Why is the sea King of a hundred streams?

Because it lies below them.
If the Sage would guide the people,
He must serve with humility.
If he would lead them,
He must follow behind.
In this way when the Sage is Ruler
The people will not feel oppressed;
When he stands before them,
They will not be harmed.
The whole world will support him
And will not tire of him.
(Tao Te Ching 66)

And he sat down, called the twelve, and said to them,

"If anyone desires to be first,
he shall be last of all and slave of all."
Then he took a little child and set him in the midst of them.
And when he had taken him in his arms, he said to them,
"Whoever receives one of these little children
in my name receives me;
and whoever receives me,
receives not me but him who sent me."
(Mark 9:35-37)

This is starkly clear in religion. The ethical teachings of Jesus,
Buddha, Lao Tzu, Krishna, for example, are the same. All teach
giving up possessions, all teach loving enemies, all teach
overcoming evil with good, all teach keeping the mind in the present.
But as soon as somebody says, “I am a Christian” or “I am Muslim”,
etc., they become ego, false, actors, hypocrites. They identify
themselves by what the other is not. A self-proclaimed Christian, for
example, is willing to completely trample on his or her own Jesus’
teachings in order to not be like Buddhists or Hindus. This is why
Christ’s fundamental teachings are mysteriously absent from
classic"Bible-believing" churches. This is why even the self-

the label "Christian." P
