Da dao wu wei 大道无为, (Da Dao means greatness, wu wei means non doing / effortless action). ‘Never acts yet nothing is left undone’ - Lao Tzu.
"When the work is done, don't ask for credits. That's why it last forever."
"Be like water, everyone wants to go up, water always flows to the bottom"
It can be challenging to understand how simply "doing nothing" can be seen as valuable or effective in our achievement-oriented society that values constant striving, business, consumption, and burnout.
However, wu wei reveals a profound aspect of human existence - that when we release tension and fully embrace the external world, we open ourselves up to new possibilities for freedom, adaptability, and creative strength.
This book explores the origins of wu wei in important Taoist texts such as the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, which praises the natural perfection of effortless harmony.
Water effortlessly overcomes obstacles and gradually smooths even the toughest surfaces through its persistent and gentle nature. When we apply the watercourse way to our lives, we realise that a lot of our frustrations, whether at work, in relationships, or within ourselves, come from trying to force solutions instead of letting things naturally evolve with the changing circumstances.

Great stuff-"Effortless Action". I'm a retired psychiatrist/physician and had the opportunity to live in Bangkok for 6 wks in 1974. Another psychiatrist befriended me, who had spent a year as a Buddhist monk, and he took me through many of the spectacular temples in Bangkok. Now, it is just another overpopulated big western-style city. It was still mostly an ancient Buddhist city in 1974. In my retirement, I have had the opportunity to focus on sobriety, study, and write a book on "Stress". I presented the first of four discussions of that book, "Stress R Us" at a small local college and to fellow retirees yesterday. Unlike during my 42 yr. medical career, with numerous teaching opportunities, this time I was effortless, had no anxiety (which surprised me), and simply flowed naturally along with the question and answer format that unfolded itself. It was very well received and I'm making some new friends as a result. I am 78 and finally my sober, authentic self. Lao Tzu had it right. Namaste'
Bangkok in the 70s was an amazing friendly place you mentioned sobriety twice are you a follower of bill and bob?
Not enough comments everyone's doing less already
Good one.
😂
Wu, Wei to analyze.
.
😂
Wwwooooowaaaayyy Wooooweee
Less is more. Living very simple, has been a practice for me .
Mind you, I haven’t perfected it.
Yet I have comfort in letting go.
Knowing less is more.
My good friend Kevin was a simple man.
He showed me how to live a simpler lifestyle. Yeah money wasn’t the issue.
It was the spiritual side of knowing ,
Less is more.
Practicing this concept has changed my life.
I don’t have desire to buy anything.
For show.
I am so much more happy,
Not having to worry about a lot of stuff, and circumstances.
That will not make a ,
Tinkers damn. In the future.
Were spinning fast enough with
Technology and worldly endeavors.
My advice, keep a simple clean life.
It will give you everything!!!!
Loving this book!!!!
Thanks and god bless ❤
This dude is wooin and wayin
I was going to leave the most profound comment. Then I thought. Wu Wei. 😂
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, thank you for posting these! Excellent timing on this one for me.
Buddhism+ Doaism, Stoicism are really good.
Great book. Still don’t understand why a human can’t read it. It matters
Not a human - copy, paste = 💻🗣️ - Wu Wei of Technology
I think many scientists agree that the universe is an automatic process, and then it means that Wu Wei is already the case! Not the mechanical determinism that Laplace proposed but a creative form of automatic process.
Thank you for posting. We need to remember what's important and build on that foundation.
Thank you for your good vibes ❤
The intelligence reading this book is fascinating! Thank you for reading such a good book! I love the exploration of all the different ways to pronounce Wu Wei! 💚
😂😂I listened to the end mostly out of curiosity for how many ways Wu Wei can be called
Timely message! Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great audio book .

At 15 min I have learned this lesson the hard way. It is truth.

Like the old sprite commercial: " Ahhhhh! Refreshing!"
thank you

Love your stuff kick on love it 👍 ❤
Glad you enjoy it!
Float like a cloud, Flow like water.
Gloria in Excelsis Deo! 🙏
Thanks
Thank You!
Wu wei (no self effort) advocate getting into a position where nature and serenity move you into your final goal. Its like what the bible said (copied from Lao zi) Labour to enter into the rest. Entering into the rest takes effort and when you are in rest, things happen.
Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Wei.
Yes, that’s why I’m in a charming family home wrapped in a cashmere shawl drinking hot tea while my feet feel like small blocks of ice. Kansas is an ice castle right now and we have to adjust.
How U doon NOW .. ?
Going with the flow, when life doesn't dictate the direction then go the direction you choose, when we meet resistance then it's time to follow along. Give and take.
Even good advice from a machine is uninspiring
Gratitude 🙏 #TOGM
Woo way....

Guy applying wu Wei when pronouncing wu Wei.
Good material. Find a human reader. Mispronunciations are distracting. Thank you.
Thanks for the tip!
💯%
Wu Weil does NOT mean "not doing" - false translation. BUT it means "NO FORCING " - big difference 😉
I see it as non doing from the human doer, but the doing comes from the human BEing 😊.
@@Krip_Creator well doesn't matter how your mind sees it, Sir
it means No Effort.
if the mind is free of effort, as an appearance of the seoerate 'me' Tao is.
@@kamaurahamukti5919 👍👍
There is so many ads interrupting all the time, that i find this irritating to watch...
Great lector and merit but for God sake Lao Tzu is not prenaunced like Leo di Caprio !
Can't listen, ureter needs to learn to pronounce the words correctly
You should really learn to pronounce these names if you want anyone to take it seriously.
