Tao Rebooted
For those of you who get the Tao of the Day emails, and especially
those of you who don’t, the www.taooftheday.com website is restarting
with a new translation as of today. We just finished the James Legge
translation, and today we begin one by Tao Huang. It’s far less
poetic, but also vastly easier to follow. I think it’s far clearer
than the previous translation.
If you couldn’t follow the previous one, or never got into it, today
is a great day to get started. You can sign up for the daily email at
http://www.taooftheday.com or subscribe to the DAILY audio podcast
there as well.
And here a copy of today’s chapter/mailing to hopefully pique your
interest:
Chapter 1
The Tao that is voiced is no longer that of eternal Tao.
The name that has been written is no longer that of eternal name.
The nameless is the beginning of the cosmic universe.
The named is the mother of the myriad creatures.
Being at peace, one can see into the subtle.
Engaging with passion, one can see into the manifest.
They both arise from a common source but have different names.
Both are called the mystery within the mystery.
They are the door to all wonders.
