6 道德經:
谷神不死,是謂玄牝。玄牝之門,是謂天地根。綿綿若存,用之不勤。
Dao De Jing:
(The completion of material forms)
The valley spirit dies not, aye the same;
The female mystery thus do we name.
Its gate, from which at first they issued forth,
Is called the root from which grew heaven and earth.
Long and unbroken does its power remain,
Used gently, and without the touch of pain.

1 天瑞:
子列子居鄭圃,四十年人无識者。國君卿大夫眎之,猶眾庶也。國不足,將嫁於衛。弟子曰:「先生往无反期,弟子敢有所謁;先生將何以教?先生不聞壺丘子林之言乎?」子列子笑曰:「壺子何言哉?雖然,夫子嘗語伯昏瞀人,吾側聞之,試以告女。其言曰:有生不生,有化不化。不生者能生生,不化者能化化。生者不能不生,化者不能不化,故常生常化。常生常化者,无時不生,无時不化。陰陽爾,四時爾,不生者疑獨,不化者往復。往復,其際不可終;疑獨,其道不可窮。《黃帝書》曰:「谷神不死,是謂玄牝。玄牝之門,是謂天地之根。綿綿若存,用之不勤。」故生物者不生,化物者不化。自生自化,自形自色,自智自力,自消自息。謂之生化、形色、智力、消息者,非也。」

13 精誠:
老子曰:大道無為,無為即無有,無有者不居也,不居者即處無形,無形者不動,不動者無言也,無言者即靜而無聲無形,無聲無形者,視之不見,聽之不聞,是謂微妙,是謂至神,「綿綿若存」,「是謂天地根。」道無聲,故聖人強為之形,以一句為名天地之道。大以小為本,多以少為始,天子以天地為品,以萬物為資,功德至大,勢名至貴,二德之美與天地配,故不可不軌大道以為天下母。

23 養生:
《修養雜訣》曰:老子云:玄牝之門,是謂天地根。綿綿若存,用之不勤。「言口鼻也。天地之門以吐納陰陽生死之氣。每至旦,面向午,展兩手於膝之上,徐按捺百節,口吐濁氣,鼻引清氣,所以吐故納新。是蹙氣良久,徐徐吐之,仍以左右手上下前后拓。取氣之時,意想太和,元氣下入毛際,流于五臟,四支皆授其潤,如山納云,如地授澤。若氣通則竟腹中咽,咽轉動。若得十通,即竟,身體潤澤而光色渙,耳目聰明,飲食有味,氣力倍加,諸疾去矣。
