Wisdom is an
important aspect of living because we need it not so much to make a success of
living as to live well. In order to live well, understanding the ancient Tao
wisdom plays a pivotal role, especially in its application in contemporary
living. Understanding the ancient Tao wisdom is to live well.
What
Is Tao Wisdom?
Tao wisdom is the ancient wisdom from China
based on the the sage Lao Tzu who was born a few centuries before Christ.
Lao Tzu was the author of the immortal ancient classic
"Tao Te Ching" which has become one of the most translated works in
world literature. The word "tao" literally means "way" or
"pathway", and hence "the Way" referring to Tao wisdom,
which is the wisdom of Lao Tzu. It must be pointed out that Lao Tzu was
reluctant to write "Tao Te Ching" because he believed that true wisdom
must be intuited and therefore could never be expressed in words. But he was
told explicitly that he would be permitted to leave China
for Tibet
until
he had finished his book. Very much against his will, he deliberately put down
his wisdom in exactly 5,000 words, without any punctuation mark. As a result,
his profound wisdom was concise, intriguing, and even controversial.
Tao wisdom plays a pivotal role in wisdom in living. For
one thing, Tao wisdom enables you to live a stress-free life, which is almost
impossible in this day and age. For another, it shows you how to have an empty
mind, giving clarity of thinking without any conditioned mindset. The
essentials of Tao wisdom provide a blueprint for living a life of balance and
harmony, which is the prerequisite of self-healing or recovery from any
autoimmune disease.
The Book of
Life and Living is a 190-page book on wisdom in living,
based on the integration of conventional wisdom, the ancient wisdom of Tao
from China ,
and the spiritual wisdom. The art of living well is holistic living with
harmony of the body, the mind, and the spirit. Life is short. Make the
best and the most out of your life. Learn how to use your mind to control your
thoughts to live the life you want.
