一孔录The video for this chapter is still in production. For now this page gives the original text, the facsimile page, a working translation and the commentary; the full reading follows when the video is out.
不出戶，知天下；不闚牖，見天道。其出彌遠，其知彌少。是以聖人不行而知，不見而名，不為而成。Without going out the door, one knows the world; without looking out the window, one sees the Way of heaven. The farther one goes, the less one knows. Therefore the sage knows without traveling, names things without seeing them, and accomplishes without acting.
白Plain Chinese
不出门户，能知道天下的事；不望窗外，能看见天的道理。走得越远，知道得越少。所以圣人不出行而能知道，不察看而能明白，不作为而能成功。
Draft plain-Chinese rendering following Wang Bi; it will be checked when the chapter is taught.
