The Tao Te Ching Podcast - Chapter 15: Those Who Do Not Shine

About this episode

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit taoismteachings.substack.com Welcome back to The Tao Te Ching podcast. I’m really glad you’re here again. Today, we’ll explore the chapter 15 of the Tao Te Ching, where Lao Tzu turns from the mystery itself to the people who lived close to it. He paints portraits, not of the Tao, but of those who practiced it. And what he describes surprises us. Because the men and women who walked with the Tao did not look brilliant or confident or triumphant. They looked hesitant. They looked rough. They looked like muddy water. To follow along and to meditate by yourself, you can download the reading plan and the version of the Tao Te Ching I am reading here. All episodes are available here. With gratitude.
