1.16

Dajue said: “One who acts as the leader of a region, wishing to practice the Way he has attained and benefit others, must first conquer himself, confer kindness upon things, and humble his mind toward all. After that, regarding gold and silk as dung and dirt, the fourfold assembly will honor him and turn to him.” (*Letter to Master Xu of Jiuxian*)
