More quotes by Zhuangzi
To examine oneself makes good use of sight.
Zhuangzi
Those who follow the Tao are of clear mind. They do not load their mind with anxieties and are flexible in their adjustment to external conditions.
Zhuangzi
So if loss of what gives happiness causes you distress when it fades, you can now understand that such happiness is worthless. It is said, those who lose themselves in their desire for things also lose their innate nature by being vulgar.
Zhuangzi
A battering ram can knock down a city wall, but it cannot stop a hole. Different things have different uses.
Zhuangzi
When you're dreaming, you don't know it's a dream. You might even interpret a dream in your dream - and then wake up and realize it was all a dream. Perhaps a great awakening will reveal this to be a dream as well.
Zhuangzi
When you are identified with the One, all things will be complete to you.
Zhuangzi
True men ... are strong willed, have dignity in their demeanor, serenity in their expression. They are cool like autumn, warm like spring. Their passions arise like the four seasons, in harmony with the ten thousand creatures, and no one knows their limits.
Zhuangzi
To regard the fundamental as the essence, to regard things as coarse, to regard accumulation as deficiency, and to dwell quietly alone with the spiritual and the intelligent - herein lie the techniques of Tao of the ancients.
Zhuangzi
The man who has some respect for his person keeps his carcass out of sight, hides himself as perfectly as he can.
Zhuangzi
Easy is right. Begin right and you are easy. Continue easy and you are right. The right way to go easy is to forget the right way, and forget that the going is easy.
Zhuangzi
Perfect happiness is the absence of striving for happiness.
Zhuangzi
Being is thoughtless-beyond and beneath all categories of thought. Expression is the realization of creative thought. Being is still expression, moving. But then if I do not strive, who will?
Zhuangzi
Forget the years, forget distinctions. Leap into the boundless and make it your home!
Zhuangzi
To have a human form is a joyful thing.
Zhuangzi
The living all find death unpleasant men mourn over it. And yet, what is death, but the unbending of the bow and its return to its case?
Zhuangzi
Birth is not the beginning, Death is not the end.
Zhuangzi
Once I dreamed I was a butterfly, and now I no longer know whether I am Chuang Tzu, who dreamed I was a butterfly, or whether I am a butterfly dreaming that I am Chuang Tzu.
Zhuangzi
Tao is the source of both fullness and emptiness. But it is itself neither fullness nor emptiness.
Zhuangzi
When the shoe fits, the foot is forgotten. When the belt fits, the belly is forgotten. When the heart is right, for and against are forgotten. No drives, no compulsions, no needs, no attractions: Then your affairs are under control. You are a free man.
Zhuangzi
It is only when the formed learns from the unformed that there is understanding.
Zhuangzi
