*Our Meeting
*
Happy 2009! May your journey on the Tao be filled with peace, happiness and
inspiration in the new year.
Our meeting tomorrow will adhere to the usual format. Bill will start by
sharing some thoughts about the Tao from 10:30 to 11:00. I will follow him
with our continuing exploration of the Tao Te Ching. We will finish up
chapter 16, and may even start chapter 17 if time permits.
There are two key concepts from chapter 16 that we will delve into:
- Constancy - a quick recap on what we discussed last time. This concept
echoes the "constant Tao" from chapter 1. However, despite its importance,
most translations don't bother with it.
- Equanimity - there's no easy way to translate this into English. Words
like acceptance, countenance and tolerance are but approximations. We will
illustrate and illuminate it with stories - still the best way to understand
the Tao!
I hope to see you tomorrow, either at the temple or online!
