Lao Tsu writing the Tao Te Ching on bamboo paper [This post is written and copyrighted by FIRE Finance (http://firefinance.blogspot.com).] Welcome to the 202nd Lao Tzu edition of the Carnival of Personal Finance. With each passing day the going is getting tougher for millions. So we felt inspired to theme the Carnival on the quotes from the great master Lao Tzu. He is the author of “Tao Te Ching.” Tao means the way of all life, Te means the fit use of life by men, and Ching implies text or classic. He believed simplicity to be the key to truth and freedom .

The Nice Life Daily Quotation:   "When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be."  Lao Tzu As I was contemplating doing a blog today, one of my Twitter friends posted this quotation from Lao Tzu.  Lao Tzu lived about 600 years before Jesus, and was considered one of the wisest men that ever lived.  He wrote a collection of 81 "poems" discussing the many areas of life.  It's called the Tao Te Ching . "Tao" translates into "way or path". "Te" translates into "personal character, virtue, or integrity". "Ching" translates into "great book". Tao Te Ching could roughly ... Read Full Story

In this monologue, Dr. Dyer engages us with an overview of his latest work, "Change your thoughts, Change your life - Living the wisdom of the Tao." He goes on to talk briefly about the book, and how it came to be, also gives some insights into the thought systems that Tao Te Ching teaches.

The Tao doesn't take sides; it gives birth to both good and evil. The Master doesn't take sides; she welcomes both saints and sinners. The Tao is like a bellows: it is empty yet infinitely capable. The more you use it, the more it produces; the more you talk of it, the less you understand. Hold on to the center. My interpretation: The Tao (The Universal, Invisible, All That Is) sees no good or bad, therefore no sides are taken. There is no judgment. The Tao knows not what judgment even is. That Tao knows not what duality is. All things are created equal. ... Read Full Story
