Seeking the Dao with Liu Changsheng

Something formed from chaos, existing before heaven and earth. Silent and still, it stands alone and never changes; it moves in cycles without end and may be called the mother of all beneath heaven. I do not know its name, so I call it the Way.

From the opening of the primordial universe and the birth of all living things, the world has never ceased its search for the Way.

Flowers bloom and fade, clouds gather and disperse; people are born, grow old, fall ill, and die, while withered trees blossom again. All these offer a chance to seek the Way. Those who grasp even a little of it can gain a measure of the power of longevity.

But what does it truly mean to attain the Way? A thousand people offer a thousand interpretations; ten thousand people give ten thousand answers.
