One idea was expressed in such a way that it really resonated. Chuang Tzu holds that intellectual knowledge of the Way impedes its performance, much as thinking about the fine points of one's golf swing impedes the swinging or thinking about meditating impedes meditation.

The article will certainly help with my understanding as I continue reading Chuangtse.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
