From: Laozi's Tao Te Ching in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Original text:
Tao can be Tao, very Tao; The name can be named. It's very famous.
Unknown, the beginning of heaven and earth, famous, the mother of all things.
Therefore, there is always a desire to see its wonders, and there is always a desire to see its worries.
These two, with different names, are called mystery, mystery, mystery and the door to all difficulties.
Translation:
If Tao can be expressed in words, it is often Tao (Tao can be expressed in words, but it is not ordinary Tao); If a "name" can be named by words, it is a constant "name" ("name" can also be explained, it is not an ordinary "name") and "nothing" can be used to describe the situation when the world is in chaos.
And "you" is the name of the origin of all things in the universe. Therefore, we should always observe and understand the mystery of Tao from "nothing"; We should always observe and understand the clues of "Tao" from the perspective of "being" and "being", which have the same origin and different names, and can be called profound and profound.
It is not a general mystery, but profound and profound, and it is the general door of the mysteries of the universe (from the mystery of "name" to the intangible mystery, "Tao" is the door to understand all the changes of mysteries).
Extended data:
"Tao can be Tao, not extraordinary." Laozi used Tao to express the truth of nature and life in the universe. These realities had no name at first, only one entity. In order to facilitate communication, people lived in different language environments 2500 years ago, when the world was relatively closed and there was no communication.
So the Buddha used "emptiness", Jesus used "god" and Muhammad used "god" to represent the truth of nature and life. We use Tao to describe and interpret the truth of nature and life in the universe. This is just language, understanding imagination, thinking and reasoning. It is quite different from the "Tao" of the truth of natural life in the universe.
So Lao Tzu said, "Tao can be Tao, not surprising." Take Hami melon in Xinjiang as an example to illustrate this truth. Now I'm going to make a video of buying cantaloupes. Some people in the video are selling cantaloupes, and some people are buying cantaloupes and giving thumbs up to praise how delicious they are! How sweet! How wonderful it is to eat in your mouth, and so on.
People who only watch videos can only be satisfied with their eyes and ears if they don't eat cantaloupe at the moment. This is the meaning of language, understanding and imagination, without actual physical evidence. Only when we really eat cantaloupe in person and taste its fragrance, sweetness and beauty in person can we truly witness it.
Through these languages, words, classics, fingers and tools pointing to the moon, we practice liberation, see and seek truth in person, and verify the truth of nature and life in the universe. "The name can be named, which is very famous." ? Laozi used "name" to represent all people, things and things in the universe and natural phenomena.
In order to facilitate communication, people have named, classified and registered all the people, things and things in the phenomenal world, and written them into an encyclopedia. The names written in encyclopedias and classic works are quite different from the actual existence of people, things and things in the phenomenal world.
Just like the cantaloupe recorded in the encyclopedia, no matter how good the cantaloupe is, you can't taste it, but we can taste the delicious cantaloupe when it is really cooked. This is the true meaning of "famous, very famous" by Lao Tzu.
