Tao Te Ching Chapter 10-11 Don't possess it

Today's Tao

Give birth, but don't possess it. (Ch.10)


Though you are the mother of your hologram, which is the world in front of you, it is not yours.

Don't try to control it.

If you try to possess it, you will be possessed by it.

Watch out Satori! Don't be possessed by the idea.

Notice: Trip to Japan

«Notice»

Hello, friends of Tao by Matsumoto. How are you?

I will travel to Japan and stay there for three months.

I am sorry that I will not be able to post my Today's Tao videos during the trip.

Take care, my friends.

See you in November.

Naoto Matsumoto

Tao Te Ching Chapter 10-10 Raise it

Today's Tao

Give birth to it. Raise it. (Ch.10)


Who said: "Taoism is difficult"?

The mechanism of Tao is quite simple.

I wish you could accept the idea that the one and only objective world does not exist.

The world is the reflection of your thought. You create it. You give birth to it.

As you grow up spiritually, the world grows up.


Naoto Matsumoto adds:

But remember you are perfect right now. The world is perfect right now.

Think about the real meaning of "growing up".

It means "to send Love". Send Love (=the fundamental energy Tao) and turn your prayer wheel (=the world).

Tao Te Ching Chapter 10-9 Four corners

Today's Tao

You know all four corners clearly. Are you capable of not knowing anything? (Ch.10)


North, south, east, and west. Up, down, right and left.

You know all four corners, of course, because you are the one who creates and projects the hologram.

Then, Lao Tzu asks you to reduce your knowledge.

Knowledge is just dregs of experience.

Reduce and reduce it.

Tao Te Ching Chapter 10-7 Love people

Today's Tao

Can you love people or govern a state without acting? (Ch.10)


Just love them.

Just accept all.

You must not control them. You must not govern them.

Then, do you have to do something?

Tao Te Ching Chapter 10-6 Blemish

Today's Tao

And can you leave it with no blemish? (Ch.10)


After you clean your mirror, can you leave it with no blemish?

The mirror of Dark Depth is your world, so-called Reality, which is in fact your hologram.

To clean it means to get out of it.

Sometimes Zen monks say: "Break the mirror!"

Cleaning it is one thing, but keeping it clean is another.

How can you do it?

You don't have to do anything.

Zen masters may tell you: "After you break the mirror, all you have to do is to smile".

Like a baby video / Tao Te Ching Chapter 10-4

Today's Tao

And can you be like a baby? [Ch.10]



This paper craft is used to protect the baby in a Shintoist ritual.

Is it difficult to find a lost trace of Hinduism there?

Please check the photo in Like a baby / Tao Te Ching Chapter 10-4. A baby has a red seal stamped on the front.

I don't know how this school of Shintoism adopted a Hinduism custom. Personally, I had never seen this kind of seal on a baby in Japan up until recently.

Supple video / Tao Te Ching Chapter 10-3

Today's Tao

Can you concentrate energy and be supple. [Ch.10]


After more than a decade of bad economy, what is the Japanese society is discovering?

Probably, they are learning not to work too hard.

Contrary to the image they have outside Japan, historically the Japanese are not hard workers. They are Bon Vivant.

As Tao goes back to its origin, they seem to be going back to theirs.

Don't fight. Don't be tough. Don't work like a robot. Have a robot do the work.
