Tao che ching6/8/2023 ![]() If one is simple, one will always be content. Instead, if one is going to survive, one must be submissive, passive, and pacific. As Lau notes, the idea of trying too hard-of amassing too many goods, of being too arrogant, or of war-mongering-will lead one to a fall. Instead, the text preaches submissiveness, simplicity, and pacifism. To follow Taoism, one must leave behind any trace of egoism and effort. Lau notes in his Introduction to the text of his 1963 translation. For example, it is because the way seems like nothing that it is everything, as D.C. To do so, the text often produces contradictions, or opposites. The short, poetic books in the Tao Te Ching approach an understanding of this mystical, all-encompassing force. It is “shadowy and indistinct,” but it existed even before the universe. ![]() ![]() It is this tension or contradiction that is at the root of Taoism the way seems like nothing, but is everything. Nonetheless, the tao has created the universe. The Tao Te Ching begins with the idea that the tao is nameless and that it is ineffable, as language is not capable of describing it. ![]() |
