Tao Te Ching Chapter 3-6 No action


Today's Tao


This means that the sage refrains from acting. (Ch.3)


"Stand up and fight!"

"Fight for peace!"

"Don't give up! Stick to it!"

Da da, da da, don't give up dada.

Aren't we weak against all those shining mottoes of the 20th century?

While some violently fight in order to stick to peace, obviously Lao Tzu prefers doing nothing.

If you refuse to accept what it is, you will never be in peace.

Tao Te Ching Chapter 3-5 Neither intellect nor desire


Today's Tao


Always, he keeps the people without intellect or desire. (Ch.3)


If you have intellect, it is difficult to deny the existence of one and only objective world.

If you have desire, surely you want to influence the one and only objective world.

If you are wise, you should not do either.

Because you would be simply refusing to accept your hologram as it is.

We don't need either intellect nor desire to accept all.

Tao Te Ching Chapter 13-11 No body, no trouble



Today's Tao

If I don't have my body, I don't have any trouble. (Ch.13)


Please don't take it as if your troubles are as important as your body.

In Tao, it is completely the other way round.

Don't take your own self too seriously, and all your troubles will disappear.

Your thoughts and feelings are like clouds in the sky.

You don't have to feel responsible for them, do you?

So are your troubles.

What are "people"? Video


Today's Tao


Therefore, in the sage's way to control the people, he empties the mind, fills the belly, weakens the will, and strengthen the bone. [Ch. 3]


For the text, please see What are "people"?.

And, if possible, enlarge the photo above and look at the round faces of the Jizos. Don't they look how all of us used to look like?

No stimulation, in principle. Video


Today's Tao


If they don't look at what stimulates their desire, people's mind will stay calm. [Ch.3]


Please see No stimulation, in principle. for the text.

The photo above is a mass of Japanese fortune-telling sheets. You pay a small sum of money for the paper which tells your fortune.

If you are not happy about your future, you tie the piece of paper on a branch of a tree in the precinct of a shrine or a temple.

Thus, you leave your bad fortune behind and forget it. Everything is pragmatic in the country of a Nintendo. If you don't like the result, you push the "Reset" button.

Here, interestingly, we see the paper tied on the strings. It seems that the people of the temple got sick and tired of cleaning the mess on the trees and invented a better system.

No rare coins Video


Today's Tao


If they don't value rare coins, people will stay away from theft. [Ch.3]


This is the second sentence of the third chapter of Tao Te Ching.

See No rare coins to read the text.

Please also see No intellectuals. It is the first sentence.


Everyday a new entree!

Notice: Title Change

To friends,

Due to the existence of a book called "Tao Te Ching De-coded", I decided to change both the titles of the video blog and the text site.

Sticking to one thing and refusing the change is not exactly what I like.

I want to accept the change.

How do you think?

Shall I "stick to it" and "fight"?

Oh, no.

As for the new name of this site, a title that has the least possibility to bother others is one with my own name included, I thought.

It might sound a bit imposing, but if it is not appropriate we will have another opportunity to change it.

As Tao changes constantly, I want to change as well.

I simply hope that you will like the new one.

Tao Te Ching Chapter 16-10 Calamity


Today's Tao


If you don't learn constancy, you will act stupidly and a calamity will happen. (Ch.16)


The calamity here suggests the vain pursuit of Satori, or enlightenment.

"Constancy" means "going back to Tao".

If you have forgotten it and are obsessed with Satori or any form of enlightenment, you are acting stupidly.

The best way to go back to Tao is to love your life. It is the true Satori.

-"Oh my god! I have finally reached Satori! Now I know the authentic enlightenment of the oriental wisdom! I am entitled to call myself a little Buddha!"
"So what?"
Everyone is a Buddha without any particular effort. The sooner you abandon the idea that you have to accumulate experience before you reach Satori, the better. Even a three-years-old boy knows what Satori is. Why do you have to wait till you are eighty? Accept life and start emitting Love (=Tao). Then Master Miles will compose a tune called "That's it".

Tao Te Ching Chapter 2-13 Don't go away


Today's Tao


It is exactly because he does not stay there that he does not go away. (Ch.2)


The sage doesn't stay in his hologram. He is not attached to it.

Looking at the world as your hologram is the first step to realise that you are always one with Tao.

You never go away from Tao, in fact.

You just forget the fact.

Today's Tao


Though his great tasks are accomplished, he does not stay there. (Ch.2)


What is "accomplishment" anyway?

The sage knows everything takes place in his hologram.

Whether you are successful or not, you are a movie star in your hologram.

Would you like to stay in your movie forever, though?

Tao Te Ching Chapter 2-11 Don't rely


Today's Tao

Though something is done, he does not rely on it. (Ch.2)


Lao Tzu doesn't care about accomplish something.

Of course, he doesn't stop you from doing it.

But he simply thinks that there is danger if you try to rely on your accomplishment.

Surely, it creates your attachment to the world.

Attachment blocks the natural flow of Tao, the natural flow of Love.

Tao Te Ching Chapter 2-10 No possession


Today's Tao


Though something is born, he does not possess it. (Ch.2)


It sounds like a communist ideal, but it is not like that at all.

A wise man simply doesn't rely on his possessions.

Because he knows that possessing something and not possessing it are the same in his hologram.

The whole world belongs to him.

Of course, it does to you, too.

Tao Te Ching Chapter 2-9 No explanation


Today's Tao

Though everything moves, he does not explain it. (Ch.2)


Things move in the world. Then, what do you do?

Aren't you relying on statistics and analyses?

You are a daredevil, aren't you?

You really have to be a master of life if you see numbers and aren't influenced by them.

Well, Lao Tzu asks us to take the easiest measure.

Do not analyse. Do not explain.

Tao Te Ching Chapter 13-10 Trouble and body



Today's Tao

I have big trouble because I have my body. (Ch.13)


Love your trouble because it is part of you.

You project your trouble, and your trouble projects you.

Zen Master Dogen uses the expression "You are mountains, rivers, and lands".

We can say, "we are mountains, rivers, lands, clouds, flowers, our happiness, our contentment, and, of course, our trouble".

Without them, we do not exist.

Tao Te Ching Chapter 2-8 No interference


Today's Tao


Therefore, the sage treats things without interference and teaches without words. (Ch.2)


I understand we want to control all, but it is our ego who wants to do it.

Do not interfere. It is a form of resistance.

Do not teach by using words. Lao Tzu doesn't believe in them.

By accepting all, you are transmitting all you know to all the people.

Tao Te Ching Chapter 2-7 Before and after


Today's Tao


Before and after follow each other. (Ch.2)


They show "before and after" in a cosmetic surgery advertisement.

"After" follows "before".

One thing they don't tell you is that "before" follows "after" as well.

Nothing essential changes even after a painful surgery.

Yin Yang circle wants to tell you that.

Tao Te Ching Chapter 16-9 Satori


Today's Tao


Learning constancy is called enlightenment. (Ch.16)


Some people are too obsessed with Satori, or enlightenment.

Here, Lao Tzu says quite plainly learning constancy is Satori.

Then, what is "constancy"?

It is to return to Tao.

How can you do it?

By leaving your hologram.

How?

The easiest way is to accept all.

If you can love all, it is much better.

-Satori is everyday life. Everyday life is Za-zen. As Master Dogen said, just squatting is not Za-zen. Accepting life is Za-zen. Emitting the fundamental energy Tao is Za-zen. Satori is not a state. It is an act of receiving and emitting Tao the energy. Do you need a DVD or a CD for it?

Tao Te Ching Chapter 1-9 Reverse Thinking



Today's Tao

At the dark depth of this Dark Depth, lies the gateway to the various surprises of Tao. (Ch.1)


Accepting everything as it is is the gateway to Tao.

No judgement. No action. Just accept it.

I know it is very difficult sometimes.

Then, why don't you use Reverse Thinking "technique"? (if you really need a thought tool)

What is it?

It is simple. You just think the other way round, swapping the cause and the result.

Tao Te Ching Chapter 13-9 Trouble = Body?



Today's Tao

What does it mean by saying that big trouble is like your body? (Ch.13)


Big trouble is like your body?

Can you use your trouble like your body?

Well, the question is more like "Can you use your body at all?".

No one can control his intestines and heart as he likes, but they are there for him.

So is his big trouble.

Tao Te Ching Chapter 1-2 A name can't


Today's Tao

If you can name something, the word does not stand for what it really is. (Ch.1)


Obviously, Lao Tzu didn't want to name Tao "Tao".

The word Tao is often translated as "way" in English.

It's misleading.

Tao is not one "way".

It is a spaceless space and the fundamental energy flow.

It is the flow of Love. It is Buddha. It is Zen.

You can name it anything you like.

It can be called Tao the way, of course.

Tao Te Ching Chapter 16-8 Constancy


Today's Tao

Going back to the destiny is called constancy. (Ch.16)


"Destiny" is a misleading word.

Do you agree if I say, "You create your own destiny"?

Then, do you agree if I continue, "but you are not responsible for it"?

"Going back to the destiny" means "accepting your destiny".

If you accept it, you are constantly one with Tao.

Tao Te Ching Chapter 1-8 Dark Depth = Tao


Today's Tao

The same thing is called Dark Depth. (Ch.1)


"Dark Depth" is an English translation of the Japanese word "gen (玄)".

Tao = Dark Depth = the world = your hologram = true You.

The name changes, depending on how you look at it.

Don't let names fool you.


Naoto Matsumoto adds:

Generally in "Tao by Matsumoto" videos and sites, they are explained:

Tao = Dark Depth = "gen / xuan (玄)" = true You.

the world = your hologram = a manifestation of Tao

Although Tao and its manifestation are not exactly the same in definition, we cannot receive Tao's energy outside its manifestation (=your hologram, =the world).

Therefore, we respect all as Tao = our hologram.

Today's Tao

Both of them are the same thing, coming out with two different names. (Ch.1)


"Both of them", that is to say, Tao and its manifestation are the same thing, Lao Tzu says.

Tao and your hologram are the same thing if you can accept the idea. (This is the goal of your spiritual journey.)

"You are a hologram projecting a hologram", one of our friends commented on Today's Tao Video.

True You are Tao projecting the world, which is your hologram.

Today's Tao

With mind, you can see its manifestation. (Ch.1)


Don't analyse the world because you will be fooled by its appearance.

Our mind is foolish enough to analyse all.

The world is the manifestation of Tao.

It is just a hologram although it doesn't mean it is not important.

Tao Te Ching Chapter 1-5 Without mind


Today's Tao

Therefore, without mind, you can see the surprising Tao. (Ch. 1)


Do you like your mind?

Your mind often runs wild and analyses all.

If you analyse the world, you will be fooled by its appearance.

Accept your mind and love it.

Let it run wild.

Eventually it gets tired of being wild.

Once your mind stops analysing, you will be surprised to find yourself being one with Tao.
