Zhuangzi: A Frog In A Well

from Walking With The Tengu · host Matthew

We have another story from the Zhuangzi today. About a little frog in a well and a turtle who tells him of something impossible called "the ocean." I also give you a bonus Chinese idiom known as a cheng yu that I think works well in English too. 坐井觀天 - zuò jǐng guān tiān - Which I might translate as: "To sit in a well and look at the sky." Listen to today's episode to find out what that means! To sign up for new episode notifications and to receive the  "Very Brief Introduction to Philosophy for Martial Artists" PDF as well  as a full translation of Chapter 51 of the Budoushoshinshu about  disciplined martial arts training... go to: walkingtengu.wix.com/tengu and scroll to the bottom to enter your email.
