Tao Te Ching Chapter 81 Summary (playlist)




Trustworthy words are not beautiful. Beautiful words are not trustworthy. (81-1)

★★★

There are three basic points. (from 81-1 / Beautiful words)

1. The so-called world is a hologram and catalyst to keep Tao's energy circulating.

2. "Self" doesn't exist. "Self" is just a word given to one part of a hologram. (☞See also Tao Te Ching / Chapter 7 / No Self)

3. Words, including knowledge and thoughts, are part of a hologram.

★★★

Jiriki 自力/ Self-power, and Tariki 他力/ Other-power are the same.
(☞See 81-5)

★★★

Doing nothing is sending love (=Tao) by accepting all.

This is the true Za-zen 坐禅.

 This is the true sitting.

(☞See 81-5)

★★★

是什麼物恁麼来
[ze inmo butsu inmo rai]

Where on earth did this «what on earth» thing come from?

(☞See By itself 51-7)

★★★

"You must not look at anywhere but this world in order to meet Buddha."
(Dogen, ☞See 81-7)
