The sage leads by example. When the sage is a picture of virtue then others will follow.

"The Tao that can be told of is not the eternal Tao." - The Lao Tzu ch. 1

The Tao is the eternal way of the universe and language is inadequate to describe it. The word "Tao" is no more the actual original Tao than a pointing hand is the sky.

"Is it not because he has no personal interests that his personal interests are fulfilled?" - Tao-te Ching ch. 7

By having no personal interests, one is acting in accordance with the eternal way of the Tao and thereby all of his needs are being met.

"The right is an infinity" - The Chuang Tzu, A. the Equality of Things (ch. 2)

Everything is right. Everything is wrong. Only because we distinguish them from one another do they exist. Language again is what is obscuring the Tao's true sense.

Wang Yang-Ming's concept of knowledge is that the extension of this knowledge is through the investigation of things. Also, because all innate knowledge is of the good, then, thr

Mo Tzu had a very different idea of the problem of evil. He believes that what a man of humanity devotes himself to is the promotion of benefits for the world and the removal of harm from the world. He believes that all harms arise out of want of mutual love. When feudal lords love only their own state, they have no problem in attacking others. When heads of families do not love one another, they have no problem in usurping others. Therefore we must eliminate the want. If the feudal lords love one another, they will not fight and when heads of families love one another, they will not usurp one another. No one will be oppressed if everyone loves one another. Mo Tzu calls this universal love and mutual benefit. Only through this will we eliminate the problem of evil. (The Mo Tzu, A. Universal Love, Pt. 2 ch.15)

When we have done this we will then be in the age of Great Unity.

K'ang Yu-wei believes that evil comes from 9 spheres of discrimination: distinction of state, class distinction, racial distinction, physical form distinction, distinction between families, distinction between occupations, sphere of chaos, distinction between species and the sphere of suffering.

This is totally different from both Mo Tzu and Mencius, in that, Lao Tzu does not talk about abolishing evil; he says instead, learn from it.

Lao Tzu sees things quite differently. He believes that both good and evil exist only as separate entities because of their division from the Tao. When the world knows good as good, there arises the recognition of evil. He resolves this by saying that the good are the teachers of the bad but the bad are the material from which the good may learn. (Tao-Te Ching, 27). Good and evil cannot be separated, for they exist in harmony with one another.
