I think it might be a good idea to cite which translation is used for the quote in the beginning, since I've noticed that different authors sometimes prefer to use/avoid different words when writing inexact translations. This would help maintain consistency for anyone who has read several translations.--Tonberry King 05:24, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Revision

Since the original version of this article was unfortunately based on Mitchell's "patience" translation, I've done a major revision. If anyone is interested, please add more translations to the table.

[edit] Shouldn't be discussed

This should not be discussed as it is sacred and can only be when in a Taoist temple with certain requirements. All are welcome to find this knowledge, simply visit a Taoist temple and ask the people there. Tkms Dailly Rubbings 12:59, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mitchell

I received an email from Nemome suggesting to "forget Mitchell" and the previous edit noted "changed order of Mitchell's 3 treasures - Mitchell doesn't transliterate, so the order he places in English is not the same as their order in the original chinese." It's more accurate to say Mitchell doesn't translate, so I'll delete his interpretation from the table. Keahapana 00:13, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
