http://truetao.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Journey of a Thousand Miles. Saturday, August 15, 2009. Recently, I chatted with a friend I hadn't seen in a while. He was an entrepreneur, so I asked him about his business. It's doing extremely well." He perked up: "We are growing, and I am hiring more people while my competitors are downsizing.". That is great news," I congratulated him. "It must be satisfying to run a successful company, especially in this economy.". I was curious: "What can be so frustrating about a company that is doing well? Yes, ...

Journey of a Thousand Miles. Sunday, March 23, 2008. Free Books for Prisoners. Derek, I understand you donate copies of your Tao Te Ching translation to prisoners, and I have a friend who is currently incarcerated. I believe he can benefit from your writing, but as much as I like your translation, I think he would be more receptive to your stories. Do you have a similar program of donation for your other book, The Tao of Daily Life. Yes, I do indeed give away both Tao Te Ching: Annotated and Explained.

Journey of a Thousand Miles: The Sage Has No Goals?

http://truetao.blogspot.com/2010/04/sage-has-no-goals.html

Journey of a Thousand Miles. Monday, April 12, 2010. The Sage Has No Goals? Derek, I love the line in the Tao Te Ching that says, "Because he has no goal in mind, everything he does succeeds." Can you expand on this wisdom, and give us some thoughts on how we can let go of goals? The line comes from a popular translation of chapter 22, and is the last of four lines describing a Tao sage:. Because he doesn't display himself,. People can see his light. Because he has nothing to prove,. I was reading your t...

Journey of a Thousand Miles: Killing Plants

http://truetao.blogspot.com/2010/07/killing-plants.html

Journey of a Thousand Miles. Wednesday, July 28, 2010. Derek, some of the people who study the Tao are vegetarians and some are not. When I ask those who are about their dietary practice, they tell me they prefer to avoid killing. I respect that, but I also think they contradict themselves, because eating plants is killing, too. You are taking life every time you eat something, whether it is meats or plants, so what's the difference? Another angle is to ask if little kids can tell the difference. Chi...

Journey of a Thousand Miles: Human Being or Human Doing?

http://truetao.blogspot.com/2009/05/human-being-or-human-doing.html

Journey of a Thousand Miles. Sunday, May 10, 2009. Human Being or Human Doing? Derek, last week I heard a spiritual guru say: "Remember, you are a human being, not a human doing. This is the highest wisdom of the Tao.". I thought this was good advice, but I did not know it was a Tao expression. I did some research, but was unable to find any references to it in Tao literature. Can you help me get more information? The closest match to this idea in Tao teachings is wu wei. Which some have translated as "n...
