Tao, the essence found, in
quotations & art.
The man of Tao
remains unknown.
Perfect
virtue produces nothing.
"No-Self"
is "True-Self"
And the
greatest man is Nobody.
Chuang
Tzu

So
long as you seek Buddhahood,
specifically
exercising yourself for it,
there
is no attainment for you.
Yung-chia
Ta-shih

How
shall I grasp it?
Do not grasp it.
That
which remains when there is no more grasping is the Self.
Panchadasi
*
The
Tao that can be expressed is not the true Tao,
The name that can be given it is not its true name.
Without name it is the principle of the universe;
and with name, it is the mother of all the things.
From not-being we understand its essence;
and from being, we only see its appearance.
Both things, being and not-being, have the same origin,
although
different name.
Its identity is the mystery.
And in this mystery is the door of all wonders.
Lao-Tse
From the
"Tao
Te Ching"
