Tao is the true source of the myriad things.
It is the treasure of those who are good.
It is the refuge of those who are bad.

Beautiful words can be bought and sold.
Deeds of honor can be used to achieve higher rank.
There's no reason to reject those who are bad.
Therefore when the emperor is installed
   and his ministers appointed
Do not offer them precious stones and horses
But remain calm and offer them Tao.
Why did the ancients pay tribute to Tao?
Did they not use to say:
"Those who seek get what they seek thanks to Tao;
Thanks to Tao the offenders are saved"?

That is why Tao is the greatest treasure the world.
