More quotes by Laozi
Going forward seems like retreat.
Laozi
Do you think that you can clear your mind by sitting constantly in silent meditation? This makes your mind narrow, not clear. Integral awareness is fluid and adaptable, present in all places and at all times. That is true meditation. ... The Tao is clear and simple, and it doesn't avoid the world.
Laozi

Laozi
Perfect kindness acts without thinking of kindness.
Laozi

To become learned, each day add something. To become enlightened, each day drop something

Be as the still mountain Move like the great river.
