Walking meditations on Tao Te Ching

Dear friends
During this event we will concentrate on verses from chapter 19 of Tao Te Ching. We will reflect together this chapter and then will go for a 20 minute walking meditation in the park!!
Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu is a chinese classical text with 81 verses of wisdom. Though Tao Te Ching has been interpreted subjectively according to who is reading it, for a seeker on the path of wisdom it is a wonderful and precise guide to the process of becoming an enlightened being, to accomplish, within oneself, a high level of spiritual cultivation.

Verse 19 of Tao Te Ching

"Abandon sageliness,
renounce intellectual knowledge,
and people will be a hundred times better off.
Abandon “benevolence,”
reject “righteousness,”
and people will naturally
return to filial piety and compassion.
Give up cleverness and discard selfishness
and there will be no bandits and thieves.
Yet these three things are considered
outward things only.
They are not sufficient.
Take this advice:
know the plain and embrace simplicity
reduce your sense of self
and lessen your desires.
Give up intellectual learning
and you will have no worries."

I welcome you towards a fruitful reflection and meditation experience!!
