Different people have different understandings on Tao Te Ching, which was written nearly 2,500 years ago in ancient Chinese language. As the words it used is very simple while the meaning is very thoughtful, it gave us huge space for imagination. Wu-Wei (无为)is a frequently quoted word from Tao Te Ching. People usually understand it as “do not do” or “do nothing.” I found totally 10 sentences mentioned Wu-Wei in Tao Te Ching’s full-text. I think from the meaning of these sentences, our understanding of Wu-Wei is basically right.
Thank you for sharing these beautiful and profound words.
