Guest guest Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 - douglasmitch1963 Nisargadatta Friday, August 14, 2009 11:09 AM Hua Hu Ching Has anyone read " Hua Hu Ching - The Unknown Teachings of Lao Tzu " as translated by Brian Walker? I have found it more profound and more approachable than the " Tao Te Ching " . An example of the unknown teachings is the following, " Does one scent appeal more than another? Do you prefer this flavor, or that feeling? Is your practice sacred and your work profane? Then your mind is separated: from itself, from oneness, from the Tao. Keep your mind free of divisions and distinctions. When your mind is detached, simple, quiet, then all things can exist in harmony, and you can begin to perceive the suble truth. " The work is full of gems. I highly recommend it. -doug I have a few books from a Chuang Tzu. By the looks of the above quote they probably come from the same chinese zen/tao school. I really apreciate their style. They are simple concise. Sometimes Ir ead only one poem or sentence and have to stop because all is there...it is in touch with the very same ground...they dont beat in the bush..but go straight to the heart of the matter. -geo- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
