i thought the tao was not supposed to be understandable
What does Yea Forums thing of taoism? is it based or cringe?
>Zhuangzi
Great lad and actually a great read.
Tao te Ching is on its own pretty inaccessible for the modern non Chinese reader.
Zhuangzi on the other hand has some really interesting parables that read entertaining and engaging.
More like the butterflys dream.
Love the I Ching . It's a great way to make decisions
Ching Chong Ding Dong
Are there any interesting takes on Taoism besides the old masters that I should read?
I Ching has nothing to do with Taoism. What a stupid and ignorant photo
I used an ancient fortune telling book from china and it’s divinations speaking of future failure and misfortune made me feel dreadful and anxiety-ridden.
Not to mention that none of it came true.
WHITEHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>nothing
Wrong. Divinational Taoism uses the I Ching.
Incomprehensible mess of a philosophy. Somehow they mix Parmenides and Heraclitus and hide the paradox behind mysticism. Might be the most miserably servile way to live outside of Cynicism, which at least is consistent in its worldview.
That said the poetry is pretty.
