Hello there,
About a week ago, after listening to Tao Te Ching audiobook on YouTube for the second time, I recognized how deeply a part of mine got fascinated by this extraordinary teaching, and I found myself at the beginning of a journey of studying it. There is something about the combination of wisdom-filled simplicity and mind-blowing metaphorical depths in this book that totally makes me "go nuts" - yet I don't suppose there's a need for me to argue my point about this; being surrounded by many tao-lovers in this community, that is.
What led me to look for a community like this is an unfathomable world of TTC translations out there, and the surprising amount of difference there seems to be between some of them. I find myself binge-reading as many interpretations available online as possible in order to get a clear sense of what this or that line could possibly mean. And I feel a need to find a space where I could discuss (or find ongoing discussions) about certain parts of this wonderful book in order to make sense of some especially vague parts.
My gratitude to you, beautiful people, for keeping this community alive and well; and I hope we all will have a wonderful time here.
Respectfully,
Vidmantas from Lithuania, Europe.
