More from Zhuangzi
Take care of your body, then the rest will automatically become stronger.
ZhuangziZhuangzi The Tao is in all things, in their divisions and their fullness. What I dislike about divisions is that they multiply, and what i dislike about multiplication is that it makes people want to hold fast to it. So people go out and forget to return, seeing little more than ghosts.
ZhuangziZhuangzi Words exist because of meaning; once you’ve gotten the meaning, you can forget the words.
ZhuangziZhuangzi My opinion is that you never find happiness until you stop looking for it.
ZhuangziZhuangzi Let your mind wander in the pure and simple. Be one with the infinite. Let all things take their course.
ZhuangziZhuangzi Can a man cling to the positive without any negative in contrast to which it is seen to be positive? If he claims to do so he is a rouge or a madman.
ZhuangziZhuangzi For all people strive to grasp what they do not know, while none strive to grasp what they already know; and all strive to discredit what they do not excel in, while none strive to discredit what they do excel in. This is why there is chaos.
ZhuangziZhuangzi Only fools imagine they are already awake. How clearly they understand everything! How easily they distinguish this deception from that reality!
ZhuangziZhuangzi Let your mind wander in simplicity, blend your spirit with the vastness, follow along with things the way they are, and make no room for personal views-then the world will be governed.
ZhuangziZhuangzi Men honor what lies within the sphere of their knowledge, but do not realize how dependent they are on what lies beyond it.
ZhuangziZhuangzi The enlightened attention rejects nothing nor welcomes anything-like a mirror it responds equally to all.
ZhuangziZhuangzi Horses have hoofs to carry them over frost and snow; hair, to protect them from wind and cold. They eat grass and drink water, and fling up their heels. Such is the real nature of horses.
ZhuangziZhuangzi If you have grasped the purpose of life there is no point in trying to make life into something it is not or cannot be.
ZhuangziZhuangzi Where can I find a man who has forgotten words, so I can have a few words with him?
ZhuangziZhuangzi A frog in a well cannot conceive of the ocean.
ZhuangziZhuangzi Tao is the source of both fullness and emptiness. But it is itself neither fullness nor emptiness.
