Homework 9/18

Daoism...what the what?

It's tricky I know.  Tonight for homework, look at THESE excerpts from the Dao De Jing.  You should focus on numbers 1, 3, 8, 11, and 12.  Read them once.  Mull them over.  Read them again.  Try to figure out their deeper meaning.  They're meant to be ellusive, paradoxical, and provocative.  If you feel like you understand them after just one reading, you're probably not doing it right.

Once you think you understand the Dao De Jing, come up with a one sentence that describes what Daoism is all about.  Post this sentence on your blog.

  1. Poor counting skills..originally I wrote to read #2, but since #2 is not provided, read #3 instead..I've fixed this in the original post - but just so you know!
