Wu Wei

The Taoist view of Lao Tzu recognises that opposing sides transform into each other. Finding peace with impermanence is a gateway to the unchanging, to the Absolute.

Wu Wei is the art of awareness, a way of being and living in harmony with what is.

The literal translation of Wu Wei is 'without action', acting in a subtle, non-forcing, hardly noticeable way. Yugen is the visceral experience of sensing this all-pervading mystery.

"The faster they hurry, the slower they go,
to be attached to enlightenment is to go astray."
~ Hsin Hsin Ming    

"Whatever is to be made to fall, first must be raised.
If you want to become whole, let yourself become broken.
If you want to become straight, let yourself become twisted.
If you want to become full, let yourself become empty."
~ Lao Tsu - The Tao
