The Power of the Way, and the Practice of Peace
一位学者曾说：
“省力不省功，省功不省力。”
A scholar once said:
“Conserve strength, but never cut corners;
save effort, but never the essence.”
这句话其中的深意是：
真正的力量,是用得准；
是保持方向；是一步一印地靠近核心。
This statement carries profound insight:
True strength is using it precisely;
holding the right direction;
advancing steadily toward the essence.
他做事极有分寸，从不浪费力气，
但也从不草率，
每一件事都做到心安理得，毫不含糊。
He acted with great measure—never wasting effort,
yet never careless.
Everything he did was thorough, thoughtful, and grounded in peace of mind.
阿基米德说：“给我一个支点，我能撬动地球。”
Archimedes said,
“Give me a lever and a place to stand, and I can move the Earth.”
而“道”告诉我们：
给我一个心念，我能改变生死。
But the Way teaches us:
“Give me a still and unwavering heart,
I may change life and death.”
这样的力量，在于内在的坚定与省察。
省力是一种洞悉本质后的准确；
省功是一种把每一分发力都用于正确位置的智慧。
This kind of strength is rooted in inner clarity and discernment.
To conserve strength is to act with precise insight.
To conserve effort is to use every movement in its rightful place.
这，正是“道”的核心所在。
This is the essence of the Way.
和平，其实就是这种力量的延伸。
Peace, in truth, is an extension of this power.
很多人以为，和平是制度、协议、妥协，
其实和平从来不是一种外在的状态，
而是一种由内而外的修为。
Many believe peace comes from systems, treaties, or compromise—
but true peace is never just an external state;
it is a cultivation that begins within.
一个人内心若平静，
他就不会轻易被激怒、操控或撕裂。
He who is at peace within
cannot be easily provoked, manipulated, or torn apart.
他懂得转化情绪为理解，
将敌意化为尊重，
用心的安稳代替外在的争斗。
He learns to transform emotion into understanding,
hostility into respect,
and replaces external conflict with internal steadiness.
真正的和平，是一种心的觉醒，
是一种“道”的体现。
它从来不是远方的理想，
而是当下的选择——
当你愿意慢一点、让一步、听一听、看一看，
和平就在你的一念之间开始发生。
True peace is an awakening of the heart,
a living expression of the Way.
It is not some distant ideal,
but a choice available right now—
when you are willing to pause, step aside, listen, observe—
peace begins in that very breath.
周恩来总理，正是这样的和平践行者。
Premier Zhou Enlai was a living example of this path of peace.
他不以强硬求尊重，
而是以柔克刚、以静制动。
He never sought respect through force,
but used gentleness to temper power, and stillness to direct change.
他用最简练的言语促成最复杂的和解，
用最克制的姿态赢得最广泛的尊重。
He used the fewest words to resolve the most complex disputes,
the most humble posture to win the broadest respect.
他从不以喧哗主事，
但他身上的“道”始终在流动。
He never led through loudness—
but the Way flowed constantly through him.
那是一种不夺人目光却能改变格局的力量。
一种“省力不省功”的精神，
一种真正撬动历史转折的支点。
It was a power that drew no attention, yet it reshaped the world—
the spirit of “conserving strength without reducing effort,”
a fulcrum on which history itself was turned.
这就是我理解的“道的力量”，
也是我愿意与你分享的和平之道。
This is how I understand the power of the Way—
and the way of peace I wish to share with you.
来芳曰｜Laifang’s Note
省力不省功，
是对世界最深的尊重；
不多取，不放弃，
是一种可以穿越时间的智慧。
To conserve strength without losing substance
is the deepest form of respect for the world.
To take no more than needed, and never abandon what matters,
is a wisdom that travels through time.
给我一个支点，
我不只想撬动地球，
我想撬动一颗迷失的心，
让它重新看见和平的方向。
Give me a fulcrum—
I do not only wish to move the Earth.
I wish to move a lost heart,
and help it see again the direction of peace.
