Taoism is a Chinese philosophy attributed to Lao Tzu which contributed to the folk religion of the people primarily in the rural areas of China and became the official religion of the country under the Tang Dynasty. Taoism is therefore both a philosophy and a religion. Taoism teaches to embrace wonder and the joy in living gracefully with style. Lao Tzu was an ancient Chinese philosopher and writer who is known to be the founder of Taoism. He is also credited as the writer of Taoism’s most sacred text, the Tao Te Ching and his words can apply to people all over the world.

Lao Tzu says “If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to. If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you cannot achieve."

Where in the Laozi does he say that? Chapter number, please.
@@testianer It is the interpretation of this sentences：
反者道之动 Reversion is the action of Tao. (Chapter 40)
民不畏死，奈何以死惧之？The people are not afraid of death, Why threaten them with death?(Chapter 74)😀
Al Farabi please

After 30 years of relationships and the joy and satisfaction these time and experiences brought into my life I have discovered my true place to be for me is single and free. I have endless freedom and time with family, friends, new experiences and personal pursuits. I can be who I choose to be. I have no credit cards and more cash and closet space than I ever need. Completely BS and drama free. I am the type of person who chooses my own happiness not allowing others to pull me into their own self chosen misery. I can have tacos every day of the week if I wish. Life is much simpler and satisfying.
Totally agree. 😀😀😀
You got me at tacos!!
Like the way you think even though I've never had a taco in my life!

I feel the same way! Life is much more peaceful this way 🕊
Lao Tzu's intellect shines through his profound philosophical insights, encapsulated in the timeless wisdom of the Tao Te Ching. His ability to distill complex concepts into simple yet profound truths showcases a remarkable intellect. Lao Tzu's teachings continue to inspire and enlighten countless individuals, transcending generations with their enduring relevance and depth.
I've been struggling recently with my relationships with people. I'm an alcoholic and I recently quit drinking, turns out when I'm sober I don't like people all that much. I definitely see people as tools to use for my own benefit. I'm trying to change, I'm trying to learn how to care about people, even tho my every instinct rebels against it. I like how he says that we should have unconditional compassion for other people. I can't imagine living like that today, but it's something for me to work towards.
I have practice taoism for a while , now.
simple and compassion is what Laotzu teaching the world.
I live on $1 dollar aday in china for 1 years in study taosim, I eat one meal a day for 1 years. My master or teacher taught me,
eat what you got, wear what you have , no complain. I was meditation in a cave up the mountains. He said, look why are you worry there are 8 millions people below in the cities, if we run out of foods and clothes, we go down and ask them, some of them must have left over foods and left over old clothes.
after when i got back to uk. I clean up my house, and keep everything simples. I never complain again. I fear nothing , i worry nothing, I blame no body, I don't blame fate.. nothing.
beacuse fear won't help you, worry won't help you. if it is going to happen , nothing can stop the Tao, even it is happen, nothing happen. so what .. if i die, i'm free from this prison and travel the universe in all directions freedom from suffering and bs.
thanks for sharing... you don't need to achieve anything in this world, everything is fake and not real. things come and goes away, just like our body and mind. it is just an illusion a big dream. you can take nothing, and you won't come back to live it again. so stop do evil bs and leave behind problems for others.
The happiest people not the ones who achieve the most but the ones who spend more time than other in the state of flow.Programme our mind to experience more positive emotions while with negative thoughts we must choose consciously let them go instead of dewling on them because our emotions colour all our experiences.

Compassion, moderation and humility are not gifts from Lao Tzu but jewels within an open heart.
Guess what? I had to become severely disabled to understand wuwei. Not only the body but the minds need rest too. Our reality is made of qi 気 (energy), our bodies are also made of energy and Consciousness has the power to attract, repulse or create situations according to how we feel. Not how we think. If we feel relaxed and full of energy, the Universe will respond by providing us exactly what we need. The more we work and the stress and tired we get, the less likely we are to see our needs met. There is no such thing as being lazy, it's a cultural construct to drain our energy. In actual fact to live a peaceful and joyful life, we just need to relax and enjoy the ride because what you need and want from the deep of your soul, it's already on its way. 😘😊🙏💖🤗😉😁
Love all this. Only reservation, speaking as a retired older woman, is that the compassion, humility aspect is problematic for women in western society. In Asia (where I worked for some years), humility is a sign of maturity. Outside of Asia, it is often seen as weakness or simply not seen. These principles are very similar to those I was taught as how to behave as a Catholic girl. In western society, such a mindset led me to be taken advantage of by much more aggressive men who had no qualms about stealing my work or talking over me though they had far less expertise. In such a scenario, it’s easy for women to end up making coffee & struggling to support their families, while less principled men flourish.
A very broad brush approach to describing men. I have met both overbearing women and men in America. It's not just the men, let's be fair?
I’ve had plenty of inept loud-mouthed women as bosses in my life. Why choose one gender to lay a blanket over?
Accept it and it has already dissapeared
@@bobbydabuddhist She said she was taken advantage of by more aggressive men in western culture, she did not say all men are aggressive in western culture. Yet I agree western culture is generally more aggressive and that it is more possible to have such experiences. I do not believe she was trying to be a misogynist but rather explain why compassion is harder in more aggressive cultures.
As Catholic, God will reward you eventually. In the West, do what the Roman's do but with less qualms about stealing. Your experience will become victorious and his "flourishing" will be recognized as your contribution. Your superiors will see the truth. Your character is better prepared.
Living life in Moderation.Simplicity. Frugality. Brings bliss and joy just being here and experiencing this fleeting bleep of existence. 💖✨🙏🌈🕉️
"This fleeting bleep of existence". I like that.
Hope we are also
Watching this made me think I’m on the right path. Thank you
Yea,agree. Chinese cultures are based on 3 saints/sages' teachings/philosophies of lives. The Lao Tzu(the Tao ir the Dao),the Confucious and the enlightened Gautama Buddha. They are ways of lives which help every human being to be able to live in peace n harmony with each other n universe though🧐🤔👍😍🙏🙏🙏
"Only dead fish go with the flow. Living fish know the flow, responding intelligently and naturally to it." Great video. Thankyou.
I only wish more people watch this instead of 99% of YT content out there. Imagine how much more happier our world would be.
Love Lao Tzu and his wisdom ❤️
Most amazing message, for someone newly exploring the teachings of the Tao. Thank you for sharing this ancient wisdom.
My family and friends are so high strung and over stimulated from television and social media that Im without a doubt the only one in my social circle that can see through the BS of society and be able to stay patient throughout any situation. I did my research during the 2020 hysteria and realized there was nothing to fear. But all of my family and friends got hooked into it all. What a shame but it really opened my eyes to who I can and cant trust. Ironically the year was 2020 because I finally saw the people that I surround myself with in 20/20 vision.
I had the same experience 👍
And if you do not think, act and agree with them,you are the so called black sheep of the family .But to be authentic there is a price to pay,if you care about what they think obviously.
Perhaps you should watch the "humility" portion of the video again. Thinking that your version is correct in totality actually goes against the teachings of Lao Tzu. For many the "2020 hysteria" was catastrophic and life-changing. Just because you, personally, did not feel it was, does not mean the fears of others were not valid.
Love this podcast. Thank you for doing this Dominique!
Humility vs Competitiveness, very timely. I believe Working towards continuously improving one self is not been competitive. IMHO competitiveness happens in a toxic way when your self worth rely on the failure and less fortune of others. thank you for your video
It's amazing how much wisdom is helping me grow up and change I believe Taoism and radical Christian idea are helping me immensely thank you
Love this teachings. Keeps it simple and doable. Thank you!
Bruce Dickinson said "Tears fall, but why am I crying?
After all, I'm not afraid of dying..."
Lao Tee’s wise teachings makes my life less stressful and easier to live life in the right perspective and it resonates well with me. ❤
thanks for sharing these valuable jewels.
I love this thank you for your wisdom
Ty.... Listen to this daily - stay with the flow
Ive listened to the Tao de ching 10x and every time I listen, it gives a deeper wisdom dispite saying very little on the surface. It attempts to discribe the indescribable, which is enlightenment. Going to listen 100 more times.
Love it! Thanks for posting.
Beautiful - your voice is so pleasant, the art so enjoyable, this was a great video to enjoy!
Whoever see’s this, remember to always love yourself!❤
Beautiful thank you 😊
Beautiful wisdom
Finding my balance in a patient way .
"Days go past, and days come still,
All is old and all is new,
What is well and what is ill,
You imagine and construe
Do not hope and do not fear,
Waves that leap like waves must fall;
Should they praise or should they jeer,
Look but coldly on it all."
by Mihai Eminescu
Wow! Amazing words!
@@coolbreeze2213 Is a longer poem, very cool, written cca 1850.
GLOSA (orig. Romanian title)
Days go past, and days come still,
All is old and all is new,
What is well and what is ill,
You imagine and construe
Do not hope and do not fear,
Waves that leap like waves must fall;
Should they praise or should they jeer,
Look but coldly on it all.
Things you'll meet of many a kind,
Sights and sounds, and tales no end,
But to keep them all in mind
Who would bother to attend?...
Very little does it matter,
If you can yourself fulfil,
That with idle, empty chatter
Days go past and days come still.
Little heed the lofty ranging
That cold logic does display
To explain the endless changing
Of this pageantry of joy,
And which out of death is growing
But to last an hour or two;
For the mind profoundly knowing
All is old and all is new.
As before some troupe of actors,
You before the world remain;
Act they Gods, or malefactors,
'Tis but they dressed up again.
And their loving and their slaying,
Sit apart and watch, until
You will see behind their playing
What is well and what is ill.
What has been and what to be
Are but of a page each part
Which the world to read is free.
Yet who knows them off by heart?
All that was and is to come
Prospers in the present too,
But its narrow modicum
You imagine and construe.
With the selfsame scales and gauges
This great universe to weigh,
Man has been for thousand ages
Sometimes sad and sometimes gay;
Other masks, the same old story,
Players pass and reappear,
Broken promises of glory;
Do not hope and do not fear.
Do not hope when greed is staring
O'er the bridge that luck has flung,
These are fools for not despairing,
On their brows though stars are hung;
Do not fear if one or other
Does his comrades deep enthral,
Do not let him call you brother,
Waves that leap like waves must fall.
Like the sirens' silver singing
Men spread nets to catch their prey,
Up and down the curtain swinging
Midst a whirlwind of display.
Leave them room without resistance,
Nor their commentaries cheer,
Hearing only from a distance,
Should they praise or should they jeer.
If they touch you, do not tarry,
Should they curse you, hold your tongue,
All your counsel must miscarry
Knowing who you are among.
Let them muse and let them mingle,
Let them pass both great and small;
Unattached and calm and single,
Look but coldly on it all.
Look but coldly on it all,
Should they praise or should they jeer;
Waves that leap like waves must fall,
Do not hope and do not fear.
You imagine and construe
What is well and what is ill;
All is old and all is new,
Days go past and days come still.
By Mihai Eminescu

Beautiful simple explanation of this goodness
Always well presented and compelling,the various philosophies and the narrator's voice,calm and well-spoken,make watching these very enjoyable
Thank you so much for the great advice I am excited
Thank you. I needed this 😞
Hope world political leaders follow the teaching of this Chinese Great Teacher of Tao. World will be a better and peaceful place to live.
Something that originate from the depth of the heart. No explanation can suffice.
Can't believe this whole thing was leading to an advert. Took the meaning out the message for me.
Many UA-camrs simply copy and paste famous quotations just to get attention and then market their useless products shamelessly. I agree with you that the timeless messages of Lao Tzu were great, but the sales pitch at the end was jarring.
All the joy the world contains has come through wishing happiness for others. All the misery the world contains has come from wishing pleasure for one self.... Shantideva Buddhist Master .
The ultimate teaching in the Human consciousness. ♥
Thanks for sharing 👍🙏
Love love loved this video! My new way of living from now on ❤
Thank you for the important life lesson ❤❤
Thank you!
This channel deserves way more views. Keep up the great videos.🙏🙏
I need to learn to let go and embrace the changes since nothing is permanent. Also, I should stop seeing things and others as good or bad but realizing that they exist for reasons. Thank for the video.
Thanks for sharing!👏
Lord, kindly grant me strength to accept those things that I cannot change. Let me have the courage to change the things that I can... and have the wisdom to know the difference. Amen.
Thank you very much Sir for sharing your "Master's Works".
I learnt a lot from you. Most especially in dealing with myself first and others to be lovable, humble and be peace to everyone in order to simplyfy myself in everything I do. More power to u Sis. May God bless your endeavor.
Especially offended by Amazon ads. My final Amazon purchase was two decades ago.
Why should my comments be any less repetitious than the google's offensive and unstoppable ads?
Only one question for UA-cam:
Does anyone really think more frequent and more offensive ads can lead to profit?
Boundless of thanks for Lao tse for sharing his precious ancient philosophical of Buddhism on how to control your mind to be happy in simple way which is very essential in today's world. Through such legend we came to know such precious thing in today's world otherwise we all Left in turmoils of darkness. Keep it up Sir for sharing such vedios which is like medicine for our minds.👍👍💓💓
Thank you for this
Thank you so much ❤
You had me until the end but I do appreciate the Lao TZU How To Simplify your life.
Lao Tzu's wisdom is really much more efficient & helpful to individuals than Confucius teachings, which is more for the ruling class to dominate & brainwash the lower classes/commoners like us, hence adapted & promoted by the gov't/emperor for thousands of years, rather than encouraging Lao Tzu's teachings in China...
The book of Tao De Ching is the essence of living a simple & peaceful & content life from both inside & outside elements.
Once you get the wisdoms of it, life will change & become better for you coz your mindset has changed & improved. It really worked for me, took me about 2-3 years to calm down & see through lots of things in my life.
Enjoy & best of luck to you!
无为而治 - go with the flow, don't meddle with the strong external trends in the world, don't even go against it, even if it doesn't make common senses sometimes
上善若水 - the best element is the water, learn from the water, be flex & adoptive, matching the harmony of your inner self to the external elements of this world, reaching the peacefulness of yourself
lots more famous wisdom phrases in the book, really mind opening, can't believe he figured it all out thousands of years ago...
Excellent
GREAT !!!
Simply Excellence
Thanks
Thank you
Hi im here again! Lets get the best out of life ❤️
very well explained. Much easier to understand than the original 道德经.
Thank you 💖
I love videos about great people like this. Love is everything if you have nothing else material wise. Understand what I'm saying.
The meaning of life, is the meaning YOU give it!
'when you know who you really are' is the keyword for life :))
Thanks 🙏 watch your videos everyday
Best explanation ever.! Thank you
It's soooooo true
Thanks started to watch your videos very inspiring keep them coming ❤️
Awesome... the geatest channel. Lao tzu 🔥
.. this is a beautiful teaching. Thank you.. and as a person with ADHD, one of the most valuable things that cannabis does for me, is that it gives me patience. Having more patience certainly helps deal with the ADHD problem of impulsivity.
Yea that's not the point. Cannabis is simply a crutch for not figuring out how to handle and manage yourself. Try again.
I smoke weed everyday it makes it so easy to go into flow state
"A real authentic man lives life, not scriptures. And by sheer living, intensively, totally, he is surrounded by mystery all over. Each moment is a mystery. You can taste it, but you can not reduce it to objective knowledge.
That's the meaning of mystery: you have a certain way of knowing it, but there is no way to reduce it to knowledge. It never becomes knowledge, it always remains knowing.
You have a sense of knowing, but if somebody insists, "If you know, then give me the answer," and you are a true, honest man, you will say, "I have a sense of knowing but I also have another sense that it cannot be reduced to knowledge."
That's why Lao Tzu refused to write anything his whole life... for the simple reason that the moment you write it, it is something else. But this can be detected only by one who has some acquaintance with mystery.
It is not a question of scholarship: a scholar cannot detect anything wrong in Lao Tzu. Confucius was a great scholar in Lao Tzu's time, his contemporary. The world knows Confucius more than Lao Tzu, naturally: he was a great scholar, a well-known wiseman. Great emperors used to visit him for advice. The emperor of China, who must have been the greatest emperor of those days -- because China has always been a continent unto itself -- appointed Confucius to be his prime minister, so that he was always available to him for advice.
But when Confucius went to see Lao Tzu, do you know what happened? He came back with almost a nervous breakdown. Lao Tzu was known at least to those people who were in search. And when the disciples of Confucius came to know that he was going to Lao Tzu they waited outside -- Lao Tzu was living in a mountain cave.
Confucius did not want anybody else to accompany him because he knew that that man was strange, unpredictable. How he may behave, what he will do, what he will say, nobody knows. And before your own disciples... he may cut you to pieces. It is better to go alone first. So he said to his disciples, you wait outside. Let me go." And when he came out, he was trembling.
The disciples said, what happened?"
He said, "Just take me home. I am not myself That man is a dragon, never go to that man."
What had happened there inside the cave? Lao Tzu's disciples were there, that's why we know what happened, otherwise a great meeting would have been missed. Lao Tzu's disciples were also very shocked even his disciples, because Confucius was older than Lao Tzu, far more well-known, respected. Who knew Lao Tzu? -- very few people.
And the way Lao Tzu behaved with Confucius was simply outrageous. But not for Lao Tzu. He was a simple man, neither arrogant nor humble, just a pure human being. And if it hit hard -- his purity, his innocence, and his ordinariness -- if it hit hard on Confucius, what could he do?
If you go to a mirror and the mirror shows your face to be ugly, is it the fault of the mirror? You can do one thing, you can avoid mirrors -- never look in a mirror. Or you can manufacture a mirror that makes you look beautiful. That is possible. There are hundreds of types of mirrors, concave and convex, and who knows what.... You can manage to look long, and you can manage to look fat; you can manage to look small, and you can manage to look beautiful.
Perhaps the mirrors you have are deceiving you. Perhaps the manufacturers are creating mirrors to give you a consolation -- that you are so beautiful. Particularly women, standing before the mirror forget everything else. It is very difficult to take a woman away from the mirror. She goes on looking in the mirror. It must be something in the mirror, otherwise people are just homely.
Lao Tzu's disciples said, "What did you do?"
He said, "I have not done anything, I simply reflected; it was my response. That idiot thinks he knows, and he is only a scholar. Now what can I do if I made it clear to him that all scholarship is rubbish, and told him,'You don't know anything at all'?" And when you face a man like Lao Tzu you cannot be dishonest either, at least in front of him.
Confucius remained just like a statue, frozen, because what Lao Tzu was saying was right. Scholarship is not knowing. You are quoting others, have you anything to say on your own?" And Confucius had nothing to say on his own. He was a great scholar he could have quoted all the old ancient scriptures but on his own? He had never thought about it, that anybody was going to ask, Have you something to say of your own?
And when Lao Tzu looked at him Confucius knew that that man could not be deceived. Confucius asked him about something. Lao Tzu said, "No, I don't know anything."
Then Confucius asked, "What happens after death?"
And Lao Tzu was just like a flare, became aflame, and he said, "Again! Are you going to drop your stupidity or not? You are alive -- can you say what life is? You are alive -- can you reduce your experience of life into objective knowledge and make a statement of what life is? And remember that you are alive, so you must know.
"You don't know life while you are alive and you are bothering about death! You will have enough time in your grave. At that time you can meditate on what death is. Right now, live! And don't live lukewarm."
Many people go on living on dimmer switches. They go on dimming, dimming. They don't die, they simply go on dimming; they simply fade out. Death happens to only a very few people, those who have really lived and lived hot. They know the difference between life and death because they have tasted life, and that experience of life makes them capable of tasting death too. And because they know life, they can know death. If living, you miss life; dying, you are going to miss death.
"And you are wasting your time; just go out and live!" said Lao Tzu to Confucius. "And one day you will be dead. Don't be worried: I have never heard of anybody living for ever, so one day you will be dead. Death takes no exceptions -- that you are a great scholar or a prime minister. You will die, that much I can predict. Nothing else is predictable but that much can be predicted easily -- that you will die. And in your grave, silently, meditate on what death is."
Confucius was trembling. The king also asked him, "You have been to Lao Tzu -- what happened?"
Confucius said, "All that I was afraid of happened. He made me look so idiotic that even after forty-eight hours I am still trembling. I am still afraid of that man's face -- I had nightmares for two nights! That man is following me, and, it seems, will go on following me. And he had some eyes! They go just like swords into you." He said, "One thing I can say to you as your adviser: don't ever think of meeting this man. He is a dragon, he is not a man."
Mysticism is to know life, without knowledge standing in between you and living."
Very nice
I've been in flow lots lately and a big part is letting go and not trying to recreate what is familiar. To open myself to the infinite possibility's.
Thank youuu so much
Nice program. Nonetheless, if you are frugal about yourself, the natural thing is not to be very giving about others. Peace and love to everyone :)
I simply my life by not listening to this 3rd World stuff.
I knew nothing about Taoism until listening to this program. But as a practicing Muslim I guess I have been practicing most of Taoism. OPPO
Yes
Please also check out my talk about the other Taoist philosopher Chuang Tzu. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/U-h-Yz7SMtU/v-deo.html
Lao Tzu 🙌🏾❤
It's means old master
Please post more videos about Aristotle
Great wisdom 👌🏼
i have a hard time letting go of desires and temptations . I know this is normal for a lot of people but I want simplicity and patience!
May I suggest switching one of your desires to a results-oriented yearn. For example desire a supple healthy body can have you simply walking round the block every night instead watching reels on Instagram or mindless tv progs. Your sense of achievement outweighs your other desire in that you get that dopamine seratonin in rush reward. Be kind and patient with yourself and the universe responds accordingly. Out of nowhere one of your earlier desires or dreams becomes fulfilled. Stay grateful to your creator too!
I agree completely. It is very hard to let go of things that offer us comfort for a moment. Sometimes, desires and temptation only cause stress and anxiety and preventing us to get the simplicity and peace we want. The other Taoism founder Chuang Tzu offers a much detailed suggestions about this. I am a philosopher and I made a video a while ago on how to find peace and letting go of things that causes anxiety. Maybe it could offer some help. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/U-h-Yz7SMtU/v-deo.html
Well its good that you are aware of these (as most ppl not) and try to control in way to make you content.Love what you already have

This is very helpful. BUT. There are reasons that people make the choices they make and/or behave the way that they do that may not make sense, at first glance, even when reflecting on the wisdom contained in this video. Being in sheer survival mode or experiencing present/past trauma have nothing to do with decisions involving career difficulties, not getting what you want materialistically or even breaking up a significant relationship. You can have a perfect intellectual understanding of Lao Tzu's excellent advice, but everything you know goes out the window when you are, for example, terrified of being abandoned physically or emotionally. Or if you have no safe place to land in this world! (Abraham Maslow's work, always).

I was the most selfless person one could ever have met; I spent 34 years helping people from the heart, and where am I? Suffering from a deep rooted anxiety that I can't shake and makes it hell to sleep at nights.
Your ability to be so selfless and utter depth of your compassion for others is a strength, however if unbalanced is draining. Give yourself compassion right now, take time to discover yourself and recharge for your soul is so influential that it leaves an imprint on the world and people around it, but in the process sacrifices a part of itself. You can rebuild and strengthen the parts yourself you have given during this time however. It is not lost, only waiting to be found. Good luck
@@kaileymarks5942 Yes, matey, that is what I am doing. I am giving compassion to myself, and kicking the hell out of others. I suffer from GAD as a consequence of my selflessness, and the more I vent my anger everywhere the less are my GAD symptoms. Thanks for your good wishes; I wish you well too.
I pray you heal
@@GenesisSpeaks Thank you for your prayers. I do believe in saying thank you God; however, one has to work at whatever health problem one has. This is what I do, I work daily nearly 24 hours a day trying to get rid of my GAD. Thanks again.
There is traumatheraphy available for you too. Seek help. Stop helping others, help yourself now first! 🙏
And if this where to be offered as an employee handbook, what then?
So your conclusion at the end is that the best way to happiness is money and so invest in art?
Is actually translated to old fathers In my dialect. Lao tzu is still being honor in the lee clan.
Just Be!
When my wife says "simplify out lives" it means throwing out my stuff.
