《道德经》英译（第三十七章）

道常无为，而无不为。

侯王若能守之，万物将自化。

化而欲作，吾将镇之以无名之朴。

无名之朴，夫亦将无欲。

不欲以静，天下将自定。

Chapter 37

The Principe of the universe follows natural laws, without trying to “do” anything. As it follows natural laws, nothing is neglected.

If a ruler can follow this principle, then all the things in his nation will take place in a natural way.

During the process, if selfishness appears, then the simplicity that has no name must be used to dissolve it.

The simplicity that has no name implies unselfishness.

If everyone can achieve the unselfishness of not doing, this world will be in peace.
