CHAPTER V FALSE VIRTUES

CHAPTER V
FALSE VIRTUES

YANG CHU said:

"Po Yi was not without desire, for being too proud of his purity of mind, he was led to death by starvation.

"Chan-Chi2 was not passionless, for being too proud of his virtue he happened to reduce his family.

"Those who in pursuit of purity and virtue do good in a false way resemble these men."
