Comparing the Teaching of Jesus to the Tao Te Ching

Published by Yaholo at 7:05 pm under Christian Mysticism

Brian Roberston has posted a good comparison between the teaching of Jesus and the Tao Te Ching on his blog Christian Mystics. Here are some excerpts below:

“What does it profit them if they gain the whole world, but lose their souls?” Luke 9:25
“To be proud with wealth and honor is to sow the seeds ofyour own downfall.” Tao Te Ching 9

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:21
“The sage wears rough clothing and holds the jewel in his heart.” Tao Te Ching 70

“The least among all you of is the greatest.” Luke 9:49
“The best of people is like water. Water gives life to all things and does not compete with them. It flows in places people reject and so is like the Tao.” Tao Te Ching 8
