Tao Te Ching Chapter 25-19 Tao's model


Today's Tao

Tao models itself upon nature. (Ch.25)


Be careful.

The word "nature" here doesn't mean the same "nature" as we know of.

It signifies "the manifestation by itself".

Tao creates all, so Tao creates Tao.

This is what Lao Tzu call "return".

In Zen Buddhism, you can find a similar thing.

It's called "Butsu kojo ji".

It is discussed in Tao by Matsumoto / Chapter 25 / Manifestation.
