Tan Zi said: The ultimate way has five transformations. Who is Daohua? The emptiness turns into spirit, the spirit turns into qi, the qi turns into form, the form is born and all things are blocked, this is the key to the Tao. Form turns into qi, qi turns into spirit, spirit turns into emptiness, emptiness becomes luminous, and all things are connected. This is the use of Tao. The sage reaches the end of the barrier and obtains the source of creation. He forgets the form to nourish his energy, forgets his energy to nourish his spirit, and forgets his spirit to nourish his emptiness. The emptiness and reality are connected, which is called great harmony. Hiding it is the essence, using it is the ten thousand spirits, discarding it is the Taiyi, releasing it is the Taiqing.
Reader comments
This book mentions that "a tired mind and spirit run counter to the Tao; a deep and clear mind is the essence of the Tao." This illustrates the need to maintain inner peace and purity in the process of pursuing the Tao. The book also discusses how to get rid of all kinds of distracting thoughts and desires to achieve inner clarity. Just like Kang Bozi, who knows ancient and modern books, he can feel like a fool all day long after hearing the Tao. This is the manifestation of getting rid of distracting thoughts. This book is an enlightening work for those who want to understand Taoism.
