"The valley spirit never dies.
It is the unknown first mother,
whose gate is the root
from which grew heaven and earth.
It is dimly seen, yet always present.
Draw from it all you wish;
it will never run dry."
- Translated by T. McCarroll, Chapter 6

谷神不死, 是謂玄牝.
玄牝之門.
是謂天地根.
綿綿若存.
用之不勤.

"The valley spirit never dies.
It's named the mystic woman.
And the gate of the profound woman is the root that heaven and earth sprang from.
It's there within us all the while;
draw upon it as you will,
you can never wear it out."
- Translated by T. Byrn, Chapter 6

"The mystery of the valley is immortal;
It is known as the Subtle Female. The gateway of the Subtle Female
is the source of Heaven and Earth.
Everlasting, endless, it appears to exist.
Its usefulness comes with no effort."

"The valley spirit is not dead:
They say it is the mystic female.
Her gateway is, they further say,
The base of heaven and earth.
Constantly, and so forever,
Use her without labor."
- Translated by Raymond Blakney, 1955, Chapter 6

" 'The valley and the wind will never die.'
They are the creators of the one who is the mystical mother,
The one whose hair is the source of heaven and earth.
This source will never end.
Even if it is exploited endlessly, it will never diminish."
- Translated by Chohan Chou-Wing, Chapter 6

The spiritual valley can never be extinguished.
It is correctly referred to as the mysteries of the receptive.
The entrance to mysterious receptivity is correctly referred to as
the origin of the whole universe.
It is continuous and unbroken!
Its usefulness seems to persevere without effort."
- Translated by Nina Correa, 2005, Chapter 6

"The valley spirit not expires,
Mysterious woman ’tis called by the sires.
The mysterious woman’s door, to boot,
Is called of heaven and earth the root.
Forever and aye it seems to endure
And its use is without effort sure.”
- Translated by D. T. Suzuki and Paul Carus, 1913, Chapter 6

"The valley spirit not dying
is called the mysterious female.
The opening of the mysterious female
is called the root of heaven and earth.
Continuous, on the brink of existence,
to put it into practice, don't try to force it."

Vitality, Energy, Spirit: A Taoist Sourcebook Translated by Thomas Cleary

"Like the sheltered, fertile valley,
the meditative mind is still,
yet retains its energy.
Since both energy and stillness,
of themselves, do not have form,
it is not through the senses
that they may be found,
nor understood by intellect alone,
although, in nature, both abound.
In the meditative state,
the mind ceases to differentiate
between existences,
and that which may or may not be.
It leaves them well alone,
for they exist,
not differentiated, but as one,
within the meditative mind."
- Translated by Stan Rosenthal, Chapter 6

"The concept of Yin is ever present.
It is the Mystic Female from whom
the heavens and the earth originate.
Constantly, continuously, enduring always.
Use her!"
- Translated by C. Ganson, Chapter 6

"The valley spirit never dies
Call it the mystery, the woman.
The mystery,
the Door of the Woman,
is the root
of earth and heaven.
Forever this endures, forever.
And all its uses are easy."
- Translated by Ursula K. Le Guin, Chapter 6

This organ functions as the root of the world.
It lasts forever and can never be used up."
- Translated Xiaolin Yang, Chapter 6

It is called the Mysterious Feminine.
The Doorway of the Mysterious Feminine
Is called the Root of Heaven-and-Earth.
Lingering like gossamer, it has only a hint of existence;
And yet when you draw upon it, it is inexhaustible."
- Translated by John C. H. Wu, 1961, Chapter 6

"The manifestations of Infinity never cease manifesting.
Infinity is the primal creator, the oneness of male and female.
Infinity is the gate though which heaven and earth manifested.
It is invisible to the senses, yet totally permeates all things.
It is inexhaustible and eternally available for any purpose."

It is always at hand within you.
Use it gently, and without force."

Yet its usefulness is invisible."

It exists for ever,
And its use can never be exhausted."

Ununterbrochen wie beharrend
wirkt es ohne Mühe."

Unvergänglich ist der Geist der Tiefe.
Es ist das Urmütterliche.
In des Urmütterlichen Schoß wurzeln Himmel und Erde.
Es ist der Urquell des Lebens,

Use it effortlessly."

Si l'on en fait usage, on n'éprouve aucune fatigue."

谷神 (Gu Shen, Valley Spirit)

Open and broad as valleys
Vacant like a valley
Empty, like valleys
How empty! They resemble the valley
They were like valleys! Vast, oh
Receptive – As if an open valley
Willing and open like a deep valley
Accepting like a valley
Hollow like a cave
Hollow, like caves
Expansive as a vale
Wide and open-stretching, like a vale
Receptive! like a valley
Open-minded, like a valley
Open, like a valley
and Capacious, like a deep valley
Broad, as a valley
Open as a valley
Vacant were they, as a ravine
They were like a valley between high mountains
Open and broad as valleys
Receptive as a valley
Empty as a valley
Capacious, they were like a valley
Expansive? Like the space between hills
Yet, receptive as a hollow in the hills
Wide open, like a valley
They were empty as a valley
and Capacious, like a deep valley
How wide, like a valley
Vacant, like a valley
Vacant, like a valley
Empty, like a valley
They were lowly, like the valley
Regarding digging ditches: the steeper you slope their sides, the sooner they will wash down
Like a valley awaiting a guest, How receptive!
Receptive, like an inviting, open valley

Taken from the 38 English language translations included on this Chapter 15 hypertext notebook
on the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu. Compiled by Mike Garofalo, Gushen Grove, 2018.

A good area for a house, farms and a village. The Chinese character reminds me of a house with two higher mountains in the background.

Usually, a productive valley featuring an all year river and streams; flatter, wider, open, with good soil; and with mountains on one or two sides.

A cozy cabin at the edge of a beautiful meadow, small ponds, and creek in the foothills. Something like the Hundred Acre Wood in Ashdown Forest, England, where Winnie the Pooh and friends lived. Fantasy valleys are everywhere in art and fiction.

By "hollow" we might mean, 1. Having a hole or empty space inside. Synonyms: empty, void, unfilled, vacant. Example: The broad and green valley that lie below was largely uninhabited. 2. Without significance. Synonyms: meaningless, empty, valueless, worthless, useless, pyrrhic, nugatory, futile, fruitless, profitless, pointless. Example: He had no intentions, he felt hollow inside.

All the "Great Civilizations" from the history of the Four Corners of our Globe Earth, for the last 10,000 years, are the stories of human beings living in a valley by a river.

Channels can be natural or man made. An arroyo is a channel for flash floods in the desert. We can hollow out a cave for a larger shelter, or dig through a mountain side to create a channel for water from a productive spring. Something like the Panama Canal creates its own valley, a powerful Ku.

A rugged area, sparsely populated, where a seasonally powerful river or glaciers over the millennium have cut a steep walled canyon out of the mountains, like the Grand Canyon in Arizona, the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon, Yosemite Valley in California, or the Snake River Gorge in Idaho.

A valley offers an opening, a slit, a doorway, a crack, a corridor, a way in and out, an entrance and exit. I was born in the San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles, California, and will die in the Columbia River Valley of Washington.

A valley recreation or vacation retreat, in a small town, in a beautiful place, a welcoming place, a resort and refuge, a safe and peaceful valley place. Packwood, Washington. Bishop, California. Tillamook, Oregon. Borrego Springs, California. Red Bluff, California. Beautiful valleys from around the earth capture our enthusiasm, fascination, and imaginations. Similar experiences are transformed in books or films into valley fantasy realms and valley kingdoms like Shangri La, Shambhala, Shaolin, a remote Alpine or Tibetan village, Sleepy Hollow.

The desired valley is verdant land, fertile, receptive to agricultural cultivation, broad and open, empty and vacant, and we are willing and accepting of the work ahead needed to survive.

The valley is the source of our food, our essential life-line, our basic way to earn our 'daily bread', our means of creating bodily energy. The valley is in many ways acknowledged, studied, respected, revered, worshipped, sacred, divine.

The valley is Female. The valley is the Vulva, the Origin, the Womb, receptive and expansive, empty of self-concern and generous, the Creative Source of the birthing of the ten thousand things necessary for our continued existence.

Hollow - Filled Hole - Peg Female - Male

Expansive - Limited

Receptive - Hostile Accepting - Rejecting

Light - Heavy
