RWP Posted October 8, 2017 Has anyone read or can share thoughts on 'Do Nothing and Do Everything' by Qiguang Zhao? He wrote it based on a collegiate course he taught on Daoism. I liked it for its simplicity of expression and clear explanation. I've read a number of topics on Dao from contemporary authors. I'd like to find more books on philosophical "application" to daily life. Any recommendations? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fa Xin Posted October 8, 2017 Yes I've read it. Seems like he very clearly outlines Daoist concepts and gives good examples from daily life. Great book Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ugh, it's on Kindle. So hard to resist... Every wheel has a point at the exact center that, theoretically, does not move. Yet the wheel rolls along just fine. I'm still scratching my head on that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marblehead Posted October 11, 2017 The exact center is an empty space that allows for the axel to be inserted. Without the empty space the wheel could not turn. Therefore emptiness is useful. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
