The Enlightenment

The Enlightenment

“The ancient prophets were wise.

Their wisdom was unfathomable.

It is indispensable to understanding the salvation from the Creator.

All we can do is to live by their profound prophecies:

watchful, like a man crossing a winter stream;

alert, like a man aware of danger;

courteous, like a visiting guest;

yielding, like ice about to melt;

simple, like a piece of uncarved wood;

hollow, like a cave;

opaque, like muddy water.

Living by their prophecies, we wait for our muddled thoughts to settle,

our composed minds to become clear just like muddy water, until enlightenment arises, followed by eternal salvation.”

(Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching, chapter 15)

Living in TAO is the art of living well.

Living is simple: just be a spectator, only watching the comings and goings of anything and everything.  

With what you have, do what you can. With no picking and no choosing, never over-do anything. With no preference and no expectation, just accept and embrace whatever that turns out. Life always follows a natural cycle of spontaneity—everything just comes and goes, giving balance and harmony.

Following a naturally cycle, you just have to let go of anything and everything; do not hold on to any attachment in your life.
