11 三十輻 共一轂

老子道德經第十一章

三十輻　共一轂
當其無　有車之用
埏埴以為器
當其無　有器之用
鑿戶牖以為室
當其無　有室之用
故有之以為利　無之以為用

Thirty spokes share the wheel's hub;
It is the center hole that makes it useful.
Shape clay into a vessel;
It is the space within that makes it useful.
Cut doors and windows for a room;
It is the holes which make it useful.
Therefore profit comes from what is there;
Usefulness from what is not there.

The spokes centers around the wheel's hub;
It's the hole in the hub that makes a vehicle useful.

The clays are shaped into a vessel;
It's the space inside that makes the container useful.

The doors and windows are cut to build a house;
It's the openings that makes a room useful.

Therefore, the body only serves as the evidence of existence;
It's the empty nothingness that makes it useful.
