Taoism Practice

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.

If you are reading this, you, or someone you love, is probably dealing with a life-controlling addiction, even though they have tried to break free. Buddy wrestled with the same dilemma. Buddy tried the 12-step recovery process but found surrendering to a “power greater than ourselves” undefinable and even unattainable.

In modern Taoist practice, the emphasis is often on “going with the flow” (wu-wei) and not following any fixed rules of any kind. This may work well for an already enlightened Taoist Sage, but for the rest of us, following a spiritual path involves ethical, moral, and practical guidelines. As author and translator Gregory Ripley (Li Guan, 理觀) explains, the little-known 6th-century Taoist text called the Bai Yao Lu (Statutes of the Hundred Remedies) was created as a practical guide to what enlightened or sagely behavior looks like.

In this book, Rosemarie Anderson shares her discoveries of the Divine Feminine Tao alongside her original translation of the Tao Te Ching. Working from ancient silk and bamboo slip manuscripts, the oldest known copies of the Tao Te Ching, the author slowly translated all 81 chapters over the course of two years, allowing each section to reveal its intimate poetic and spiritual nature. To her surprise, she discovered that the Tao was unmistakably feminine, consistently referred to as “mother,” “virgin,” and the “womb” of creation.

Five hundred years before the birth of Jesus, a God-realized being named Lao-tzu in ancient China dictated 81 verses, which are regarded by many as the ultimate commentary on the nature of our existence. The classic text of these 81 verses, called the Tao Te Ching or the Great Way, offers advice and guidance that is balanced, moral, spiritual, and always concerned with working for the good.

What makes this translation different is that it is a modern, simplified interpretation. One that updates the ancient language to a more modern understanding, yet without touching the spirit of Lao Tzu’s timeless work, or altering his guidance towards working with the principles of the universe instead of against them.
