the recitation of Chapter 5 of the Tao Te Ching by renowned Chinese medical expert Wu Mingjie

A calm reading of Dao De Jing Chapter 5 — “Emptiness at Work” — with a concise explanation of the images of straw dogs (ritual objects treated without attachment) and the bellows (hollow yet inexhaustible). This version aims to stay close to the original meaning while remaining natural for modern listeners.

Heaven and earth do not act from (the impulse of) any wish to be benevolent;

they deal with all things as the dogs of grass are dealt with.

The sages do not act from (any wish to be) benevolent;

they deal with the people as the dogs of grass are dealt with.

May not the space between heaven and earth be compared to a bellows?

'Tis emptied, yet it loses not its power;

'Tis moved again, and sends forth air the more.

Much speech to swift exhaustion lead we see;

Your inner being guard, and keep it free.
