Te of Tao: Embracing Life's Quiet Power: A Taoist Text

Te of Tao: Embracing Life's Quiet Power explores the profound concept of "Te," representing the power, force, or virtue of the Tao, through 107 enlightening verses. This book reveals the often-overlooked universal force that simplifies our lives when we align with it. Instead, we frequently complicate life by following self-interested impulses, disrupting the Tao's natural flow.

This book shows how suffering stems from a misunderstanding of our true nature and how our healing approaches are often misaligned. It discusses the unity of Yin and Yang, illustrating that balance is natural and doesn't require effort. The enlightened sage experiences calm power, allowing actions to be effortless and creativity to flow in harmony with the universe. It clarifies how Zuowang (egoless meditation) has little to do with sitting and can be used practically during every moment of our day.
