Reflection and lessons learned from "Tao-te-Ching"

 TAO-TE-CHING


    Tao-te-Ching is one of the classic Chinese philosophical literature wherein it teaches ways to bring back harmony and calmness in living. Based on the e-book I have read, Tao-te-Ching is ancient wisdom for modern times. In my own perspective, Tao-te-Ching is like a bible in which whoever reads it will obtain wisdom and inner peace. I believe that despite our differences in religious and philosophical affiliations, we are all seeking for one goal and that is to promote healthy practice in life, understand how things in this world interact, peace, and everything that is pleasing.
Actually, there are too many passages present in this book. Here are the things I have learned from the passages I have read in Tao-te-Ching:

  • Take time to re-evaluate how you live your life.
  • Ask yourself why do you desire such things.
  • Those who are not proud are appreciated.
  • You can create heaven for yourself where you feel happy on your own.
  • Embrace yourself at all times.
