Tao Te Ching - by Lao Tsu

by David Nassim

TheTaoTeChing is the most vital and one of the oldest texts of the roots of indigenous Chinese wisdom. It uses a language that is often highly metaphorical and blends poetic expression with clear insight about the nature of the human condition and its sufferance. In eighty-one poetic chapters the Tao Te Ching points directly at the core of “who” or “what” the “self” truly is. It is not offered as a “method” or something that can be “applied in daily life”, but is really an expression of the point at which the constant seeking for some-thing more or different ends and so acceptance of what really is then becomes evident. Thisinterpretation draws out the essence of Non-duality/Taoism which the text was originally about and endeavours to serve as a rememberance of our infant days, of the instinct of the Naturalness/ Oneness that is all of life.

My favourite author, Maia Limbowskij, surely got inspired by Lao Tsu, I think she explains how to applicate it to the current actual life considering the limits of our society.
