It's not on it?There is no ambiguity under it, the rope is indescribable, and it returns to nothing. It is said to be formless, the image of nothing, and it is said to be trance. The first one is missing, and then the one is gone. The way of the ancients is to keep the present. Being able to know the beginning of the ancient times is the Taoist era.
A long, long time ago, in the process of exploring nature and understanding the world, our ancestors gradually discovered an invisible force, which is neither matter nor energy, but it can dominate everything and affect everything. They call this power "the Tao."
What is the Tao?There is a sentence in the Tao Te Ching: "There is no light on it?".There is no ambiguity under it, the rope is indescribable, and it returns to nothing. It is said to be formless, the image of nothing, and it is said to be trance. This sentence tells us that the Tao is formless, shapeless, and colorless, but it is everywhere and all the time. It exists both between heaven and earth, as well as in the depths of each of our hearts.
What is the purpose of the "Tao"?In the Tao Te Ching, it is also said: "The way of the ancients is to control the present." Being able to know the beginning of the ancient times is the Taoist era. This sentence tells us that "Tao" is the fundamental law for us to understand the world and grasp the future. Only by mastering the Tao can we better understand nature, understand the world, and better guide our behavior and life.
How does the Tao exist?There is also a sentence in the Tao Te Ching: "You don't see the head of it, and then you don't see the after." This sentence tells us that the Tao has no beginning or end, it has neither a front nor an after, it has neither left nor right. It is like a river that has no beginning and no end, flowing through our lives.
How does the Tao affect us?There is also a sentence in the Tao Te Ching: "Good is like water, and water is good for all things without fighting." This sentence tells us that the Tao is like water, it has no shape, no color, no sound, but it can nourish all things and nourish life. Only by following nature and following the laws like water can we find true happiness and joy in life.
The above is my understanding and perception of "Tao". I believe that "Tao" is not only a treasure of our Chinese culture, but also a precious treasure of our human civilization. Only by truly understanding and mastering the "Tao" can we better face the challenges and difficulties in life and better realize the value of our lives.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a monarch named King Chuzhuang, who was very intelligent and capable, but his country was never peaceful. One day, he asked a minister named Sun Shuao for advice on how to govern the country. Sun Shuao told him: "The king has nothing to do, but the minister has something to do." This means that the monarch should be like an invisible "Tao" and not interfere with the actions of his subjects, but let his subjects use their talents and wisdom on their own. King Chuzhuang followed Sun Shuao's advice and no longer interfered excessively in state affairs, but let his subjects manage themselves. As a result, the national strength of Chu gradually became stronger and became a hegemon in the Spring and Autumn Period.
The ancients said: "The road is simple." This sentence tells us that although the Tao is profound and difficult to understand, it is actually very simple and very clear. As long as usFeel with our hearts, experience with our hearts, and practice with our hearts, and the Tao will naturally integrate into our lives.
Let's feel the "Tao" with our hearts, experience the "Tao" with our hearts, and practice the "Tao" with our hearts, and let us move towards a better future under the guidance of the "Tao"!
