Taoism
So who am I?
See
the overview
for general details.
With respect to Taoism, I'm a beginner and a student.
What's here is initially my own personal thoughts.
If people add comments the local
universe will expand.
The Library
There is a library
of books I like on taoism, taichi and other things. Please visit and add
some titles.
How did I get here
I backed into Taoism thru study of t'ai chi ch'uan. I found
it attractive and the reading has led me into some other interesting pathways:
most significant so far is a deeper look into Thomas Merton.
Why Chung Yung ?
Although not a Taoist text, the Doctrine of the Mean speaks to multiple aspects of central equilibrium for me.
First, in t'ai chi it refers to the central space between the suspended headtop and the sacrum with the
10,000 pound weight which is the stable centre of the whole form. Second it refers (again this is for me)
to the place of a human being betwen Heaven and Earth. Finally it reminds me to balance my work and the
rest of my life.
What is Wu Wei? (for me)
Well, it's not NON-action but action-without-attachment-to-outcomes.

Brother Fang of the White Dragon Taoist Temple writes:
The Tao is in all. Find it and you find yourself.
It is natural so be Natural. Move like water and become
one with nature. If one should harm you greet him with
compassion. In this way may you sow seeds of Peace. The
order through all may live is Peace.
