  1. The Concept of 無為(Wu Wei)

    You are wrong. It is a lived experience. Nothing conceptual.
  2. The Concept of 無為(Wu Wei)

    I speak from experience.
  3. The Concept of 無為(Wu Wei)

    Yes, even a civil servant to an external philosophy like Taoism. Just be a free person with no self invented cage.
  4. The Concept of 無為(Wu Wei)

    Tao is always virtuous but human conditioned mind thinks otherwise arising as judgment (good, bad).
  5. The Concept of 無為(Wu Wei)

    Let action come from True Nature. If action comes from conditioned self, it will result in harm. Has nothing to with nature as animals, forests etc.
  6. Chapter One of the TTC

    Does Wu not mean non-being or emptiness? Then acting from emptiness = Wu Wei is the most accurate translation. Means acting without self-interest. Doing means when self is active and doing things with intention to reach a goal. Nature as spoken of here is your True Nature, The Golden Elixir as named in some Taoist texts. All we are doing here is going back to that nature by whatever practice we deem necessary. Some people overlook it because it is invisible, non-tangible and might appear mundane. It is the opposite of passion, excitement and entertainment for the mind. The seeking for it is the impulse coming from itself. Listen to this voice. See where it is coming from.
