Back Forward
Daoism -> Zhuangzi -> Miscellaneous Chapters -> Kings who have wished to resign the Throne -> 1.2

天下Shun proposed to resign the throne to Zi-zhou Zhi-bo,
who (likewise) said,
'I happen to be suffering under a painful sorrow and illness.
While I am engaged in dealing with it,
天下。」 I have not leisure to govern the kingdom.'
天下 Now the kingdom is the greatest of all concerns,
and yet this man would not give his life in exchange for the throne.
This shows how they who possess the Dao differ from common men.
