Three Jewels?

[Disconformitized]

I remember reading about the three Jewels of taoism. Jewels or desirable virtures... I remember i think 2 of them. Moderation, and Humility


Who can tell me what the third jewel is... if u've ever heard of jewels

[Sebbi]

I think it's compassion, it's in the Tao Te Ching in chapter 67.

According to my translation they are: simplicity, patience and compassion.

"I have just three things to teach:
simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and in thoughts,
you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world."

Blessings
