Taoism

Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free. Stay centred by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate. - Chuang Tzu

If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation. - Chuang Tzu

I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man? - Chuang Tzu

The perfect man has no self; the spiritual man has no achievement; the sage has no name. - Chuang Tzu

The mind of wisdom is like a mirror. It grasps nothing. It expects nothing. It reflects, but does not hold. - Chuang Tzu

Thus, those who say they would have right without its correlate, wrong; or good government without its correlate, misrule, do not apprehend the great principles of the universe, nor the nature of all creation. - Chuang Tzu

Look at this window: it is nothing but a hole in the wall, but because of it the whole room is full of light. So, when the faculties are empty, the heart is full of light. - Chuang Tzu

He who knows the activities of Nature lives according to Nature. - Chuang Tzu
