Tao – 1 – Embodying the Dao

Loading Likes...

The Tao that can be described

is not the enduring and unchanging Tao.

The name that can be named

is not the enduring and unchanging

Preceding a name,

it is the Originator of heaven and earth;

Once named, it is the Mother of all things.

 

Free from desire, you live the mystery.

Caught in desire, you see only the surface.

 

Both arise from the same source.

This source has been given many names.

And remains a living mystery.

At the heart of the mystery

You find a fountain of subtle wonder!
