Behold, P AOLA .
This week I participate with a book that I mentioned here and there.
The Tao Te Ching is an ancient sacred text of Taoism.
I do not know any of this, the network, the library and the library could make a culture, if you wish, it is not to trivialize the case, I'll put right. When
last year, during a lesson, our teacher of tai chi has pulled out this book and started reading, I have not had a shock Mystic - maybe - but I recognized the poem .
The typical case in which I raise my hands and I surrender: it is the logic here, that is. Different senses are involved, you must lose yourself to flow.
Imagine the scene: a group of adults consenting, and even paying into an empty room, all sitting with their backs against the wall in silence, listening to a series of cryptic words.
Each, in his head, joins the dots.
Everyone eventually gets a different design.
Of this text there are many translations, some of which are also online.
comparison we notice huge differences, due to the difficulty of returning the many meanings contained in each ideogram. Jinks stuff, stuff to be hoped to inherit a fortune from an unknown uncle and spend at least half a day, every day for the rest of his life, studying Chinese.
Last Saturday we read the text that follows.

are good words, in the broadest sense.
Know the masculine, yet clinging to
the female is to be the belly of the world.
Are you the belly of the world and not a departure from the eternal power of Tao never,
become like an infant, immortal.
know the clear and yet grasping the dark
means to be an example for the world.
If you are an example for the world and not a departure never
from the eternal power of Tao,
return again to infinity,
limitless.
know the honor and humility, however, grasping
means to be the valley of the world.
If you are the valley of the world,
rich primitive power of Tao,
return back to simplicity,
as raw wood.
Allow the Tao of its transformed in a container.
Then you serve the world without distorting it.
(ed. Oscar Mondadori 1995)
