Taoísmo

Rate this book
Éste no es un libro más sobre taoísmo. Es el resultado de unas apasionantes charlas que Alan Watts dirigió a un público de lo más diverso pero unido por un mismo interés: el pensamiento oriental, la naturaleza, la salud integral, la contracultura... De ahí la sencillez y claridad de las explicaciones aquí recogidas.

En Taoísmo, Alan Watts prosigue la exploración que ya iniciara en su libro El camino del Tao, y nos invita a una mayor profundización. Así, nos propone la relajación (centrándose en la respiración) y olvidar todo lo que sabemos para vivir sin ningún prejuicio una nueva espontaneidad y una nueva manera de entender el mundo. Se trata de una invitación a alcanzar la verdadera libertad: conocernos mejor a nosotros mismos y entrar en armonía con el Universo. Utilizando las palabras de Alan Watts: «El mundo real está ahí, delante de ti y dentro de ti, y tú descubrirás que yo no puedo decirte nada que no supieras realmente». Pero, aunque todos tenemos esta sabiduría latente en nuestro interior, necesitamos la ayuda de buenos guías para encontrar nuestro propio camino. Y Alan Watts es uno de los mejores.

"The beggar has heaven and earth for his summer clothes."

"In Zen practice, you have to regard yourself as a cloud, because, of course, clouds never make mistakes. Have you ever seen a cloud that was misshapen? Have you ever seen a badly designed wave? No. They are always right. They always do the right thing, and as a matter of fact, so do we."

Reading this book is a confirmation of the feelings and thoughts that everyone in loneliness, silence and concentration probably reaches.
The genuine and disposition that comes from the heart of nature, the general consciousness and knowledge of which we are all a part, but we as human beings try to get away from it with the obstacles of our own world.

“Wu Wei : not forcing”

آيين تائو ؛ خوندن اين كتاب مهر تاييديه روى احساسات و افكارى كه هر كس تو تنهايى و سكوت و تمركز احتمالا نسبى بهشون ميرسه .
اصليت و سرشتى كه از دل طبيعت بيرون مياد ، شعور و داناى كلى كه هممون جزئى ازش هستيم اما ما آدمها با موانع ساختگى دنياى خودمون سعى در دور شدن ازش داريم.
