Stephen Mitchell Translation of Lao Tzu to Inspire the Way of Living

 

 

 

 

I found Lao Tzu in London at a Philosophy course on the way out.  It seems I found the Way as I was leaving as I found Western Philosophy about the ‘I’ Eastern mysticism was about the Way.  I felt immediate resonance.  I was just attracted to this video and didn’t realise it was Stephen Mitchell.  He is the husband of Byron Katie.  As he found the Dao in her expressed as living in the moment in complete detachment.  Loving all by not caring at all.  It appears as a paradox but in truth it is a depth beyond our own understanding.  When one has the foundation of The Way then we can realise what is so.

Go to 4.40 to listen to Byron Katie

Mohandas Gandhi

“Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.”
