“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward 
in whatever way they like.”

Lao Tzu Riding an Ox


The Tao Te Ching (Dáodé Jing) 
is a 6th century BCE document credited to 
Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism. It has 81 
poetic chapters on the mysteries of nature, paradox, the universe, and the Tao (the way or order of the universe) and has become a cornerstone of Taoist philosophy. Today it is one of the most translated 
books in world literature and offers insights into the nature of Tai Chi and Qigong.
