Tao Te Ching Chapter 14-16 Tao's rear
Today's Tao
When you follow it, you don't see its rear. (Ch.14)
Can you see your rear?
No, we can't.
"Tao's rear" symbolises our feelings.
It is not important to know how your feelings are composed.
Do you know why the clouds in the sky move this way and that?
It is a useful tool in life to think that feelings are like the clouds.
You are not responsible for them.
Dogen says:
You own self is like mountains, rivers, and lands. (Keiseisanshoku 谿声山色, «Shobogenzo»)
