Tao Born Destiny

Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things bear yin and embrace yang, and the energy is in harmony. ——Chapter 42 of "Tao Te Ching" The Tao is natural, dependent on origin and destruction. People in the world seek Taoism, longing for eternal life and long-term vision, and vast supernatural powers. What they seek is detachment, control, and superiority over all things. A young man grew up in the mountains and fields, making friends with vegetation and streams. His Tao was not learned from scriptures, but from the condensation of dewdrops, the timing of flowers blooming, and the rise and fall of cicada chirping. He has mediocre qualifications and never expects to be the best in the world. He is optimistic and naive, and can be happy even if he is a handyman. He enjoys helping others without asking for anything in return, just because that is what he wants from his heart. He is affectionate and righteous, loyal to his master, sincere to his friends, and has a simple respect for all things in the world. What kind of miraculous path will such a person take? This book does not have the myth of three years to build the foundation and five years to achieve the golden elixir. It only consists of chopping wood and carrying water, meditating and reading, and collecting herbs and refining elixirs day after day. There is no hostility that kills everyone at the slightest disagreement, only respect and compassion for every life (whether human, demon, or tree). Because I believe that true cultivation is not about strength, but about state of mind. I dedicate this book to everyone who is willing to slow down, calm down, and read a story. It's the order. ---
