The concept of Wu-Wei is often misunderstood as "inaction" when its true meaning is probably "exerting a powerful impact through minimum effort." It's kinda similar to the martial art Aikido where you don't fight the enemy, you use their own momentum against them.

What makes "dao" (or "Tao") such a perfect term is that its original meaning of "way" allows for more metaphoric extensions not only to "tradition" or "school of thought", but also "method" and "process", which could be used to refer to anything from the most complex (eg. procedures for avoiding cross-contamination) to the most mundane (eg. "how to boil an egg"). The various martial arts use the same character in their name. The "do" in "Aikido", for example," is "dao". Thus the word "dao" itself encompasses all the dualities and apparent contradictions of its own teaching: "The Dao that can be named is not the eternal Dao... ".

I was just thinking the same thing -- there seem to be two basic strains: finding oneness with a "god" which is completely ineffable; we are already "that"; there is only that and everything appears within that; or everything that appears to be appearing within that is illusory. I really like the way this instructor brings out these strains in thought thought the various lectures on different 'religions" or strains thereof. Perhaps one could say it is his unconscious bias or maybe his conscious bias but as a sort of Daoist/Advaitan/Yogi/Jew (ok, that's funny) I am always reaching in my heart for this ultimate oneness. Religion is not about an old man with a long beard sitting on a throne or about the thirty two thousand personal hindu gods, so forth and so on. All the dogma and structure is originally intended to be the stairways to heaven, so to speak. Reductionist thinkers who don't know anything about religion stop with the altar and start with the mocking. Ultimately it is about truth, about union with the divine, about approaching our own higher selves. We all know, deep down, that whatever we are doing on this planet as people is some sort of masquerade, and perhaps, ultimately, it is this everyday life we live that is the ultimate mystery which can never be understood. Some think this human life is only a mechanism we are gifted with to help us reach "truth". I just had to comment because your remark rang a bell. Peace.

Your discussions is more helpful than all the books that I read about “Lao - Tze”

Time: 5:25 : not quite. I have read a dozen prominent Chinese academics on Tao de jing in CHINESE and the common consensus in Hong Kong, Taiwan and China is that the book was written by a single person. Some of the texts were edited later when competition with Confucianism exploded in Han dynasty, but over the last few decades, the older version/original text written in bamboo was discovered. Most of the texts were identical to the common established version except for a few words. The old interpretation that the text was written by multiple authors or years after the the death of Confucius was once fashionable in the early 20th century: there were huge debates for years that descended into vicious personal attacks between some of the most prominent Chinese scholars.

The opening of the book (道可道非恒道) is nowadays interpreted more like as "A road, it is. Yet it is not (like a) path (you can walk on)". The first part has the form of x可x, which was an ancient idiomatic to say "It's the real deal, it'actually the proper stuff", while 恒 refers to "fixed, predetermined, laid down" with 恒道 referring to a real, hard-drawn road connecting two ends of a travel, and 非 being the negation. So, the meaning goes in the line of: "yeah, it's a road; you can walk on it, you can follow it, but it's not a road getting you from A to B."

Sir, you are making excellent presentations. Taoism is close to my heart, so thank you! I would translate Dao not "a way", but "The Way". The way cannot be named, but if named, it becomes a parent of thousand things. We all follow the way, and yet we deviate from it. Perhaps this contradiction is what sets human beings apart from the rest of nature? Whether Lao Tzu existed factually is not so important, important is that he was so right.

I don’t know if this is a good example, but the way I would describe the difference between Western thought and Chinese thought is: A Western fisherman finds himself in competition with a cormorant, so he kills the cormorant. A Chinese fisherman finds himself in competition with a cormorant, so he trains the cormorant to catch fish for him. To me that sums up Wu-Wei and Taoism.

Excellent video! I wonder how the text of the Hua Hu Ching fits into this picture?

Great & insightful video

It’s an interesting, inspiring video. Gj making it

I enjoyed your interpretation of dao. Ive always understood it as a combination of the path you walk through life and the attitude/headspace/morality you have while walking it. In my head i see it as a someones moral compass guiding them down a road.

It's fascinating that this kind of thinking pervades, or act as a basis of, all religions. Personally, I like the similar expression that appear in the Vedic concept of Ṛta. Ṛta (sometimes translated as "order") is actually come from the same root as "ṛtu" the word for 'season'. And as season come and goes without force and bring order to all being, human's action ought to behave in the same manner: without force and in alignment with nature. All of the similar explanations or expressions lead me to think that religion or life-philosophy (for a lack of a better word) stem from a common origin - whatever that is. Not sure if this might be considered as perennialism or not.

A very nice introduction, which we see similarity in its content when compared to Advaita (non dualism), work without attachment (from Sri bagavath Geetaji) of sanathan dharmam.

Fascinating. I like the stories of the Eight Immortals.

as a chinese daoist i can tell you that there is really no clear line between book daoism (philosophical daoism) and religious daoism oh and at least for us religious daoism really isn't anything different from chinese folk religion. it's really one in the same. i mean you can really see that "go with the flow" attitude in our temples. usually if there aren't clergy around, there's at least a bunch of elderly who sit around relaxing, and are happy to guide any followers on the rites if they are unsure. it can get REALLY confusing. given that many daoists also worship the buddha as a deity-teacher-thing, the line with buddhism is also not very clear. it's not uncommon to see chinese go to both buddhist and daoist temples for services, where i'm from even hindu temples are open to daoists - it's not really perceived as a different religion, it's honestly something like Interpretatio Graeca all that alchemy stuff and medicine can honestly be classed as more cultural than religious, but it is in all seriousness just taken as a natural extension of daoist philosophy, albeit to a supernatural level
