More quotes by Zhuangzi
Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free. Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.
Zhuangzi
If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind.
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
Either in conflict with others or in harmony with them, we go through life like a runaway horse, unable to stop.
Zhuangzi
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.
Zhuangzi
Standards are different for all things, so the standard set by man is by no means the only 'certain' standard. If you mistake what is relative for something certain, you have strayed far from the ultimate truth.
Zhuangzi
If we look on heaven and earth as a single crucible, and on the creator as the founder, would there be any place I could not go? When it is time, I will fall asleep, and when the right time comes, I will wake up again.
Zhuangzi
Beneath multiple specific and individual distinctions, beneath innumerable and incessant transformations, at the bottom of the circular evolution without beginning or end, there hides a law, a unique nature participated in by all beings, in which this common participation produces a ground of common harmony.
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
I am going to try speaking some reckless words, and I want you to try to listen recklessly.
Zhuangzi
Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature.
Zhuangzi
Life is finite, While knowledge is infinite.
Zhuangzi
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.
Zhuangzi
When deeds and words are in accord, the whole world is transformed.
Zhuangzi
Birth is not the beginning, Death is not the end.
Zhuangzi
A sage steers by the bright light of confusion and doubt.
Zhuangzi
Those who realise their folly are not true fools.
Zhuangzi
...the ten thousand things belong to one storehouse and life and death share the same body.
Zhuangzi
When I talk about having good hearing, I don't mean just listening, but listening to yourself. When I talk about good eyesight, I don't mean just looking, but looking at yourself.
Zhuangzi
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.
