The Tao Te Ching in a Nutshell

[@mooncalf191]

I found the Tao in a nutshell once. It was an almond, and it was delicious.

[@zahidpiracha2689]

in a nutshell to say, a lifetime to truly understand.

[@zoazorusson]

many lifetime I hear ;)

[@Parouty]

When you stop understanding, you will know without understanding. and nothing is worth knowing except your own total ignorance.

[@adamjung558]

Well said, it contains all secrets. I pour tears and feel a sort of realigent that's probably the greatest feeling I've ever felt. I've introduced many people to the tao yet as it says most don't even begin to understand.

Be still Stillness reveals the secrets of eternity I was never touched by written word so much

[@miketv101]

"Be still and know that I am god" Love the link between all spirituality

[@shawnburnham1]

The best warrior leads without haste fights without anger overcomes without confrontation. He puts himself below and brings out the highest in his men.

[@shawnburnham1]

One who sees himself as everything is fit to be guardian of the world. One who loves himself as everyone is fit to be teacher of the world.

[@AndrewUKLondon]

Wonderful translation. Thank you for sharing and reading.

[@finn3939]

A poetic description of isness.

[@RaiseTheSpirit]

I have this book, worded a bit differently. Mind boggling stuff, will take a lot of time and meditation to truly understand.

[@Viv8ldi]

This is so beautiful thanks for reading, I love your voice and the vibes you give me

[@Thetabringer]

amazing translation, wonderful editing for duration; thank you 🙏

[@akilogram]

the mistake is yearning beyond what one can see. There is no way. Those who seek a way or the way are lost or hunting. True seekers of the way are but searching for something they already left behind not seeing what they still have. life and limb

[@michaelthomheadley]

[@allmendoubt4784]

There are no shortcuts.

[@fabjustfab3264]

Best thing on KZbin

[@yourmomdisapproves7122]

I love the title.

[@SharonMessage]

Are we to be careful of what we love (because life is short) here in the now? What will our afterlife look like if we love everything do we become one with it?

[@jlee8107]

Nice video, I'd like to constructively add, Tao is never in any language pronounced with a 't' as in Tom, it is Tao. Phonetically pronounced (dow.)

[@SharonMessage]

Grateful to know thank you.

[@mooncalf191]

The first letter in “Tao” is an approximation of a Chinese sound that does not have an exact English equivalent. The most accurate rendition would be a combination “t” & “d” sound, as in “Tdhow.”

[@alankuntz4406]

The way that can be walked is not the way? The Why worry about it? Question it or think about it?

[@sherwinh1661]

are you able to upload a video just with the background music? i found it to be very good meditation ambeince music

[@SharonMessage]

I use binaural beats generally in background if so desired, blessings and stay well.

[@SamY-ig7sd]

Great vid!

[@amynguyen7]

Do you cultivate Tao? Have you received the Tao?

[@SharonMessage]

Are we to be careful of what we love (because life is too short) here in the now? What will our afterlife look like if we love everything do we become one with it? Or is there no such thing as afterlife as we understand it? If we Are here in the now within multiverses living in a simulation does this mean we died 2012?

[@freeworld88888]

Nice one.

[@alankuntz4406]

Much better translation....The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.

[@sethbush9236]

[@neoanderson4840]

[@robertklose2140]

[@Emileny96]

WHY DO PEOPLE INSIST ON HAVING TRANQUIL STYLE MUSIC PLAYING IN THE BACK GROUND OF EASTERN PHILOSOPHY VIDEOS? A MODERATE PACED VOICE IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED.... THE MESSAGE OF THE WORDS IS POWERFUL ENOUGH, NO MUSIC IS NEEDED....

[@rejy92]

Emileny96 why are you yelling haha.. Don't get bothered..enjoy the tao

[@jeepeesmits]

some like it, some don't and if you don't like it stop watching buy the book enjoy the silence ;)

[@SharonMessage]

True that dear friend but why shout your message when tranquility is the heart of it's content. Therefore are you hearing you my friend because everyone's needs are different, prefer to roll with "whatever works" (AA) not only tolerance for oneself but for others gives compassion and understanding. Namaste.

[@jhtan5023]

wrong understanding of this book. This is not what Lao Zi trying to teach us......

[@garyowen3662]

JH Tan, So please elaborate. A correct understanding is??

[@jhtan5023]

@@garyowen3662Chapter 1 道可道，非常道。名可名，非常名。 Tao can be followed, but there is no defined or a regular way to follow. Tao can be described, but there is no defined or a regular description to describe it. 无, 名天地之始。有, 名万物之母。 ‘Invisible’, is being used to describe the origin of the universe. ‘Visible’, is being used to describe the mother (source) of all things. 故常无,欲以观其妙。 常有, 欲以观其徼。 Hence, stay regularly in the state of ‘invisible’; in order to realize the mightiness of Tao. Stay regularly in the state of ‘visible’ (physical world); in order to realize the functions of Tao. 此两者同出而异名，同谓之玄。 Both of them are of the same origin, but with different names; both are non-explainable. 玄之又玄，众妙之门。 The combination of these two non-explainable forms the door (source) of all living beings. Comment: *Invisible means ‘emptiness’; and visible means ‘color’ in Buddhism sutra. *Einstein Theory E=mc^2. The mass ‘m’ represents the visible item; the constant ‘c’ of light frequency represents the invisible item. The energy E is the origin of the visible and the invisible. *The state of ‘invisible’ refers to the state of meditation. The state of ‘visible’ refers to the state of physical body activities. *The last part is to point out that a living being is made up by the combination of invisible consciousness and visible physical body.
