Tao Te Ching

The ‘Tao Te Ching’, Chinese: 道德經; is a Chinese classic text and foundational work of Taoism traditionally credited to the sage Laozi though the text's authorship, date of composition and date of compilation are debated.

The 'Tao Te Ching' had a profound influence on Chinese religious movements and on subsequent Chinese philosophers, who annotated, commended, and criticized the texts extensively.

The following are some excerpts from the Tao Te Ching.

By aligning with the Tao (道), ego-centric thoughts naturally dissolve and melt away, and we move once again in synch with Nature, the Cosmos, All That Is. - Zen and Tao Facebook Page

Yield and overcome. Empty and be full. Have little and gain. Have much and be confused. - Tao Te Ching

Stay at the centre of the circle and let all things take their course. - Tao Te Ching

Darkness within darkness. The gateway to all understanding. - Tao Te Ching

He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still. - Tao Te Ching  

When you stand with your two feet on the ground, you will always keep your balance. - Tao Te Ching    

In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don't try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present. - Tao Te Ching  

A mind ever free of its own process Beholds the True miracle of Absolute Reality. A mind ever lost in its own process sees only the forms of this world. - Tao Te Ching
