Tao Te Ching Excerpt

Tao Te Ching Excerpt Verse 50:

Between bith and death
Three in ten are followers of life;
Three in ten are followers of death.
And those just passing from birth to death
also number three in ten.

Why is this so?
Because they grasp at life,
and cling to this impermanent world.

But there is one in ten,
They say,
So sure of life,
That tigers & wild beasts keep away.
Weapons can not harm him;
Rhinos have no place to gourde him;
Tigers claws have no place to pierce;
Soldiers have no place to thrust their spears.

Why is this so?
Because he dwells in that place,
Where death cannot enter.

Realize your essence,
And you will witness,
The end without end.
