21 Principles of the Taoism | Lao Tzu's Art of Not Trying

from Daily Quotes by Motiversity

21 Principles of the Taoism I Lao Tzu's Art of Not TryingThe Tao Te Ching—"The Classic of the Way and Virtue" speaks of the Tao, the natural way of the universe, the pattern of all things in nature. To resist the Tao... is to walk upstream against a river. To follow it... is to move with the current, embodying Wu Wei—effortless action. This is not inaction but the art of flowing with life rather than forcing it. The willow bends with the storm while the rigid oak snaps. Traditionally credited to the sage Lao Tzu, the Tao Te Ching is a guide for those who seek harmony with the Way. Lao Tzu taught that to master life is not to conquer it, but to move with it, as effortlessly as water carving stone. Here are the 21 Principles of the Tao Te Ching.SpeakerZach Brown Hosted on Acast.
