Today's Tao
Without getting out of the door, you know the world under the sky. (Ch.47)
Certainly, Lao Tzu didn't know what we do these days.
We don't have to go outdoor to see what is going on in the rest of the world.
We watch TV or videos on Internet.
Although it sounds contradictory, we have to stay at home to "know the world under the sky".
Exactly because of this we have to ask ourselves the question:
"Where are those things happening?".
Modern medicine may answer:
"Inside your brains. All the information has to be reconstructed there".
Taoism and Zen Buddhism may answer:
"The world exists inside your hologram, not outside it. So does your own self".

☞"Mr. Dustin Hoffman, do you really agree with Lao Tzu? The old Chinese master thinks that Heave and Earth treat everything as straw dogs." The American actor may not, but Yukio Mishima's hero in «The Temple of Golden Pavilion» might. The young monk with speech defect might think Heaven and Earth and everyone on the planet treat him as a straw dog. Even the incredibly beautiful Golden Pavilion "looks at" him as a disposable straw dog, he would have thought. Now, it is his turn to look at it as a paper pavilion of origami, and sets fire to destroy its beauty. The novel is based on a true story.
