Dao De Jing - The Science, Theory & Practice: 2nd Edition

By Kean Hin Ooi

What's the state of the mind when you are typing fluidly on the keyboard? What is the condition of whatever comes to the mind is spontaneously produced on the screen? What is the state of the mind when the command and outcome are merged as one, and there is no way to differentiate which one comes first? That is the state of wholeness-the state of wu wei or acting naturally. It is a state similar to the description of "the heart should not attach to anything" in the Diamond Sutra and "unity of knowing and acting" in the Philosophy of The Mind (Xinxue) of Confucianism. Be it in Buddhism, Daoism, or Confucianism, sages said it is a state that cannot be described but can be experienced; they also added that only after realization of such a state will the right practice commence. It is akin to only after knowing the correct address can one reach his home.

How to experience and recognize this state of wholeness? Dao De Jing - interpreted rightly - provides a clear approach.
