Saw this and it made me laugh because the joke is taken as actual advice in Taoism: ‘This tree is certainly good for nothing,’ said Tzu Chi. ‘This is why it has grown so large. Ah-ha! This is the sort of uselessness that sages live by -Chuang Tzu Chapter 41yr ⋅ Culebraveneno ⋅ r/taoism

Found this while looking up the quote - “We are so unused to emotion that we mistake any depth of feeling for sadness, any sense of the unknown for fear, and any sense of peace for boredom” thought id share as I found both to be rather profound.1yr ⋅ Archerise ⋅ r/taoism
This quote is fantastic. Anyone know where Chuang Tzu said something similar? The quote is misattributed, it's actually the translator, Thomas Merton, but I love it so much, and he's clearly summarizing Chuang Tzu, so, Chuang Tzu must have said something close to it. Anyone?1yr ⋅ Culebraveneno ⋅ r/taoism

The Stoics believed that it is important to focus on what is under our control and to let go of our attachment to things that are not under our control. This can help us to live a more peaceful and contented life, as we are not constantly trying to control things that are beyond our control.1yr ⋅ DrSchnoozyl ⋅ r/taoism

The non-duck is what makes up the majority of the universe here. What does this mean for non-being? That non-being is what defines the duck, but also more than that. How can we dive deeper into this duality and see beyond it?1yr ⋅ tossawayy87 ⋅ r/taoism
