Forget the years, forget distinctions. Leap into the boundless and make it your home!
Zhuangzi
Image
Your mind must become one, do not try to understand with your ears but with your heart. Indeed, not with your heart but with your soul.
Zhuangzi
Image
My description of wisdom has nothing to do with benevolence and righteousness, it is to do with being wise in one's own virtue, nothing more. My description of being has nothing to do with benevolence and righteousness, it is that one should be led by one's innate nature, nothing more.
Zhuangzi

There is a saying that Heaven is internal, humanity external and Virtue comes from the Heavenly. Know Heaven and humanity's actions, root yourself in Heaven and follow Virture.Then you can bend, stretch, rush forward or hold back, because you will always return to the core and it will be said you have achieved the supreme.

The fish trap exists because of the fish: once you have gotten the meanings, you can forget the words.
Zhuangzi
Image
The raven hatches its young the fish spew forth their eggs the slim-waisted wasp transforms, and when a younger brother comes along the elder brother weeps. For too long I have not been able to work in harmony with these changes. So, given that I did not play my part in harmony with others, how could I expect to change people?
Zhuangzi
Image
Great knowledge sees all in one. Small knowledge breaks down into the many.
Zhuangzi
Image
Make your will one! Don't listen with your ears, listen with your mind. No, don't listen with your mind, but listen with your spirit. Listening stops with the ears, the mind stops with recognition, but spirit is empty- and waits on all things. The Way gathers in emptiness alone. Emptiness is the fasting of the mind.
Zhuangzi
Image
Cherish that which is in you and shut out that which is without, for much knowledge is a curse.
Zhuangzi
Image
The fact is that those who do not see themselves but who see others, who fail to grasp of themselves but who grasp others, take possession of what others have but fail to possess themselves. they are attracted to what others enjoy but fail to find enjoyment in themselves.
Zhuangzi
Image
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.
