More quotes by Zhuangzi
During our dreams we do not know we are dreaming. We may even dream of interpreting a dream. Only on waking do we know it was a dream. Only after the great awakening will we realize that this is the great dream.
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
When an archer shoots for enjoyment, he has all his skill when he shoots for a brass buckle, he gets nervous when he shoots for a prize of gold, he begins to see two targets.
Zhuangzi
Heaven is in everything: follow the light, hide in the cloudiness and begin in what is. Do this and your understanding will be like not understanding and your wisdom will be like not being wise. By not being wise you will become wise later.
Zhuangzi
A sage steers by the bright light of confusion and doubt.
Zhuangzi
Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free.
Zhuangzi

Zhuangzi
We possess our body by chance and we are already pleased with it. If our physical bodies went through ten thousand transformations without end, how incomparable would this joy be! Therefore the sage roams freely in the realm in which nothing can escape, but all endures.
Zhuangzi
There is a beginning. There is no beginning of that beginning ... There is something. There is nothing.
Zhuangzi
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
The true man of the past waited upon Heaven when dealing with people and did not wait upon people when dealing with Heaven.
Zhuangzi
The hundred parts of the body are all complete in their places. Which should one prefer? Do you like them all equally? Are they all servants? Are they unable to control one another and need a ruler? Or do they become rulers and servants in turn? Is there any true ruler other than themselves?
Zhuangzi
Thus, those who say they would have right without its correlate, wrong or good government without its correlate, misrule, do not apprehend the great principles of the universe, nor the nature of all creation.
Zhuangzi
The greatest tragedy that can befall a person is the atrophy of his mind.
Zhuangzi
Birth is not a beginning death is not an end. There is existence without limitation there is continuity without a starting point.
Zhuangzi
Either in conflict with others or in harmony with them, we go through life like a runaway horse, unable to stop.
Zhuangzi
Where is that man who has forgotten words that I may have a word with him?
Zhuangzi
When you are identified with the One, all things will be complete to you.
