Taoism Practice

Zhuang Zhou was an influential Chinese philosopher who lived around the fourth century BC during the Warring States period, a period corresponding to the summit of Chinese philosophy, the Hundred Schools of Thought. He is credited with writing - in part or in whole - a work known by his name, the Zhuangzi, which is one of the foundational texts of Taoism. Herein is perhaps his most well known work.

The Tao Te Ching is a Taoist philosophical treatise. Lao Tzu, a great Ancient Chinese philosopher and teacher, is considered to be the author of this book. We owe this book to an unnamed guardian who kept safe the far western borders of a country, Zhou in the fifth century BC. The legend says that exhausted from misunderstanding Teacher with a tired heart went on his last journey – to die in a dessert. The guardian recognized great Lao Tzu, called him by name and, nobody knows how, persuaded the wise man to tell a world about Dao and De. "When you said Dao, you said nothing", the teacher replied.

The Tao is an ancient philosophy of living in the natural world. It shows you how to get back to being your authentic self, your spiritual self. The Tao has the power to help you reclaim your life from the ego-based identity that imprisons you. You can discover your authentic identity by learning to live in divine consciousness. In discovering these truths, we become the creators of the universe instead of the passive observers we have been - we learn how to live life in the now.

Yin, a paradoxical, still, dark, chaotic, and unknowable principal. The oft-forgotten counterpart to Yang, Yin is among the most mystical topics yet also the most difficult to describe. It has so many taboo, confusing, and paradoxical aspects. Yet, in its darkness lies the source of action, success, and meaning. Hidden in Yin life phases, experiences, and events is something secret and abundant. Through a Yin path, one can achieve huge outcomes by doing nothing.

I didn't set out to create a new translation of the Tao Te Ching when writing The Way. Since Lao Tzu wrote it in the fourth century BC, it has become one of the most widely translated works in the world and hardly needs a new scholarly treatment. Instead, I sought to capture the way the verses have come alive in me with language and metaphors that are more easily understood by a modern Western listener.

Il Daodejing, noto anche come Tao Te Ching, è un'opera fondamentale del pensiero taoista, attribuita al saggio Lao Tzu. Il testo, risalente tra il IV e il III secolo a.C., è composto da caratteri che possono sembrare in contraddizione tra loro, rendendo l'ascolto un'esperienza unica e stimolante. Nonostante le numerose questioni critiche e interpretative emerse nel corso dei secoli, il Daodejing rimane un pilastro del pensiero taoista. La tradizione racconta che Lao Tzu, stanco delle lotte e del disordine, decise di allontanarsi dalla corte Zhou in cerca di tranquillità.

Scholars say that the original Tao Te Ching is a poem. Like a poem, this version of the Tao Te Ching is not meant to be read in one breath from front to back, but is to be at intervals internalized and contemplated.
