The Essence of Tao Te Ching

Summary: Konghi Master explains ‘The Essence of Tao Te Ching’. Knowing others is wisdom; Knowing the self is enlightenment. Mastering others requires force; Mastering the self requires strength; He who knows he has enough is rich. Perseverance is a sign of will power. He who stays where he is endures. To die but not to perish is to be eternally present. The Tao Te Ching praises self-gained knowledge with emphasis on that knowledge being gained with humility. When what one person has experienced is put into words and transmitted to others, so doing risks giving unwarranted status to what inevitably must have had a subjective tinge. Moreover, it will be subjected to another layer of interpretation and subjectivity when read and learned by others. This kind of knowledge, like desire, should be diminished. "It was when intelligence and knowledge appeared that the Great Artifice began." And so, "The pursuit of learning is to increase day after day. The pursuit of Tao is to decrease day after day."
