Explore "Tao Te Ching" by Lao-Tze on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Seek to attain an open mind (the summit of vacuity). Seek composure (the essence of tranquillity).
All things are in process, rising and returning. Plants come to blossom, but only to return to the root. Returning to the root is like seeking tranquillity; it is moving towards its destiny. To move toward destiny is like eternity. To know eternity is enlightenment, and not to recognize eternity brings disorder and evil.
