Who Is the Master in the Tao Te Ching?

In this deep dive into the Tao Te Ching, The Container dives into the second chapter. We discover that "the Master" described in the text can actually be used as a stand-in for the circle itself.=================================================================Chapter 2When people see some things as beautiful,other things become ugly.When people see some things as good,other things become bad.Being and non-being create each other.Difficult and easy support each other.Long and short define each other.High and low depend on each other.Before and after follow each other.Therefore the Masteracts without doing anythingand teaches without saying anything.Things arise and she lets them come;things disappear and she lets them go.She has but doesn’t possess,acts but doesn’t expect.When her work is done, she forgets it.That is why it lasts forever.=================================================================This second episode is being offered on the free feed, but the vast majority of this 81+ episode series is only available for paying patrons on our Patreon.If you need a refresher on circling, check out:this intro videothis articleHere are some other resources:A website with multiple translations of the Tao Te Ching side-by-side: Tao Te Ching – translation comparison (tasuki.org)We mention Strongstyle Circling, which is fully described here: https://youtu.be/a_cRUPU0LF4Music credit: "First Snow" by Kerusu https://soundcloud.com/kerusu/first-snow?si=5bd82c9a51bf46e7ab01c7e8c49a16d4&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharingSupport Our Work📈 Like, subscribe, rate, and review🙌 Become a patron on Patreon💌 Subscribe for free to our newsletterConnect and Learn More About the Relational Arts🖥️ Our website (www.thecontainerpod.com) 📺 Our YouTube (www.youtube.com/@TheContainerPod) 👥 Our Facebook group
