@cbecker #LeGuin is a treasure. I hope to go back and re-read The Lathe of Heaven. The Left Hand of Darkness is also great. I mean, she translated the #TaoTeChing.

#TaoTeChing
Chapter 10 (第⼗章 )

Rather than pour into a cup overflowed,
It is better to stop it.

To hammer and to sharpen,
it won't take long to be broken.

Brimming a hall with riches, one shall
not be able to keep it.

The man arrogant from enormous wealth
buries disaster upon his road.

Resigning after succeeding fits with the
principle of the universe.

@sevvie @OldM8 @pulsifer @jeff @ryan @thatguyoverthere What is #TaoTeChing and what the heck is "the essense" lol

Ideally, one should experience multiple translations of the same text. For some texts, though, this is not just an ideal, but a requirement for understanding. Quite excited to finally check out this new recent translation of this Classic!

Can you cleanse your inner vision until you see nothing but the Light?

— Tao Te Ching Verse 10

(Stephen Mitchell #Translation)

#TaoTeChing #light #meditation

A small quote from the legend about Lao Tzu and the writing down of the Tao Te Ching regarding attachments.

“No. My work for His Majesty is done, ” answered Lao Tzu. “I am able to retire. With the clouds of war hanging over the land, I see no reason to remain.”

“How I envy your freedom! I hear about the impending war and think about going away myself, but I am tied to my property and career.”

“Such is the nature of desires and attachments. That which you desire tends to bind you; relinquishing or reducing the desire tends to free you.” Lao Tzu sat back and sipped his tea.

(quoted from the introduction in Tao Te Ching translated and annotated by Derek Lin)

Verse 3 of the Tao Te Ching reminds us that true wisdom is not about hoarding treasures or dominating others. The Sage flows naturally with wu wei and lets qi energy flow spontaneously. 💡🌟 #TaoTeChing #Philosophy #Wisdom

"Verse 81 of Tao Te Ching reminds us that true words aren't always sensitive and honest people need not prove the truth. The Sage knows the key to flourishing is giving more and holding nothing back 🙏 #TaoTeChing #WisdomWednesday"

Here's part 2 from my master's thesis. I try to find places in the daoist texts (#daodejing and #Zhuangzi) where #disability is discussed generally, and then connect it to developmental/intellectual disability in particular.

Verse 3 of Tao Te Ching teaches us the power of humility, detachment, and inner vision. The Sage knows that true wisdom lies in emptiness, allowing qi energy to flow naturally. 💫 #TaoTeChing #Wisdom #InnerPeace

"Verse 77 of the Tao reminds us to let go of constant grasping and accumulating possessions. Embrace Wu Wei and celebrate the way of the Tao 🌟 #TaoTeChing #wisdom" ✨
