The first chapter of the Tao Te Ching, the door of all wonders

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-02-15

Original:

The Tao is the way, the very way; The name is famous, and the name is not very famous.

None, the beginning of the world; Yes, the mother of all things.

Therefore, there is always nothing, and I want to see its wonders; There are often, and I want to see it.

These two are the same and have different names, the same name is the mystery, the mystery is the mystery, and the door of all wonders.

Understanding: If the great truth of the world can be expressed in words, it is not the great truth we are talking about. If this great principle can be named in terms of form and concept, it will not be the eternal form of the Tao.

There is no certainty, nor can words describe its form, which is the state of anything in heaven and earth when it arises; However, everything has its own roots, and this part of the concept that can be expressed in words is the mother of conception.

Therefore, we need to maintain the state of nothingness to observe the subtle essence of things, and maintain the state of reality to observe the superficial phenomena embodied in things, and the essence and phenomena need to be looked at in different ways.

Nothingness and reality come from the same Tao, but they are just different sides of the Tao. Together, they can generate countless mystical possibilities, and these uncertain combinations and even more subtle things are the Tao, and the door of all wonders is the door that opens the door to the great truth of the countrymen.
