04. Connect with nature

Taoism is a Chinese philosophy attributed to Lao Tzu which contributed to the folk religion of the people primarily in the rural areas of China and became the official religion of the country under the Tang Dynasty. Taoism is therefore both a philosophy and a religion. Taoism teaches to embrace wonder and the joy in living gracefully with style. Lao Tzu was an ancient Chinese philosopher and writer who is known to be the founder of Taoism. He is also credited as the writer of Taoism’s most sacred text, the Tao Te Ching and his words can apply to people all over the world.

Taoism and Stoicism helped me deal with my social anxiety and depression. the book of proverbs and Ecclesiastes in the Bible helped me too.

[@jalopenogardiner5323]

Wow, that's almost exactly what I would have written. Though it took me 15 months of prison for me to come to these conclusions. 🙏

The original business model of KZbin was annoying, but at least the ads were reasonable. New flood of invasive, repetitive, and offensive ads are EVIL. Google is now fully dedicated to doing any evil that seems profitable. And censoring complaints, too.

Lao Tzu and Marcus Aurelius are my 2 favorite philosophers they have a lot of quotes that have and continue to help me I need to be more consistent of course but when I've applied it to my life it's worked I'm very grateful I've found philosophy 🙌😌

[@recuerdos2457]

Me too, I also enjoy reading Schopenhauer and Kierkegaard!!

[@lovetrustandpixiedust]

Taoism and Stoicism have helped me handle my anxiety better. I haven’t read the Tao Te Ching, but I highly recommend Letters From a Stoic by Seneca for anyone seeking some guidance.

Isn't it amazing how true gurus have discovered and shared the same truths, yet in their own unique ways. 😊

[@jesusbermudez6775]

It goes to show that they are not true gurus. After all everyone is telling you to remain calm. One aspect is telling you to do this and the other is how to achieve it. This video in no way tells you what to do to remain calm.

[@Lighthouse_Wisdom]

Lao Tzu's wisdom from Taoism offers profound insights on staying calm amidst life's challenges. Embracing simplicity, practicing mindfulness, and allowing the natural flow of events through non-action are essential tenets. In today's fast-paced world, these teachings resonate, guiding us toward inner peace and fulfillment.

Words of wisdom is more valuable if we understand and apply in life.

[@SearchOfSelf]

We are born already perfect and complete. That's how it was meant by nature. And it's interesting how we add so many layers to ourselves over time that we don't feel like ourselves anymore. And then the greatest challenge is to unlearn and get rid of all the layers and just be the way we were born - wholesome and complete.

[@taoteching2050]

The root cause of all people's troubles is self-absorption, and the first thing to eliminate them is charity. Giving is the root cause of poverty change and the driving force to get out of difficulties. Faith is the source of the Tao and the mother of virtue, and fosters all good roots.

[@recuerdos2457]

I agreed, but not sure it s related to the teaching of Tao te Ching🤔 do not do thing for the purpose of making yourself feel good, it’s too superficial and too intentional, that s why wu wei, you re kind because it’s your nature not because you follow doctrine and to be seen as a good person…

[@LaTrappolaDelToddi]

[@electricsnut]

Between Taoism and Buddhism, you have all you could ever need to make peace with your existence.

[@OriginalThinker_]

It was the time before Tao was a religion and when Zen found fertile ground. It was the most beautiful place I ever saw. I was an old man and I needed a cane to walk. This was the origin of the soul that is another man today. But still, that soul.

[@fraidoonw]

thanks a lot for this inspiring episode. Lao Tzu's wisdom is timeless! why always working- business - office people appear in these episodes???, I rarely see a carpenter, a street worker or a teacher .....sorry!

[@tonycocchiara7445]

I agree 99% of this video apart from change , yes change is essential, to move forward, but your heart is the strongest power a human can no , and when this breaks, it breaks !!! Then it's almost impossible to move on or forget , unless your emotions or none existent, I had a broken heart I still love her now after 30 years , I daught this wil ever change, my nan died 6 years ago another broken heart , basically what I'm trying to tell you is , we are humans but with very very deep and powerful heart , and this my friend will always be !

[@stephaniesamra7960]

Everybody gets broken hearts. But we learn from it, learn to accept it as it unfolded. Staying in the past doesn’t help. I am sure she is not whining about you. You have your life to lead without regret. You don’t want this thought of regret o your death bed as it will bring you back into this life time with the same regret. Wd past life regression help you. Good luck 🤞

[@tonycocchiara7445]

I just wanted to express how a heart works , like I said the feeling of a true heart is unchanging , ever feeling and forever loving , I've moved on a long time ago but having a broken heart is hard to heal no matter how much Time passes, but thanks for your help my friend !!

[@HolyFox2024]

You’re just unable to let go. It’s all your option, there are various of people who has suffered losing almost everyone in their family in war-time just in a few minutes . Keep that thought for yourself and you’ll never be able to do what you think you can’t.

We fight change because most of the time change is not in out best interest. It is not happening for out advantage that is why we fight it, or even worse try to nudge it for our selfish benefit.

If you take anything to an abosurd extreme, of course it sounds bad. Sometimes, our worries are real, sometimes, its how we perceive the proble that is the problem

[@somethingyousaid5059]

The fact is, there's a great deal that's beyond the control of human beings. And (perhaps as a way of coping with it) a great many human beings are in denial about that fact. And I don't feel that I've taken anything to an absurd extreme. Instead, I feel that my very existence demonstrates an absurd extreme. Gregor Samsa has nothing on me.

I believe that it is not accurate to refer to Taoist mindfulness. The centre of awareness and wholeness in the Taoist tradition is the heart, not the mind.
