It’s a way of living day-to-day that can happen in your everyday life.
The concept of enlightenment is often misunderstood as something that requires you to drop everything and become a monk. While there’s certainly nothing wrong with that, it’s not the only way to get there.
It’s important not to confuse “enlightenment” with the idea of becoming a hermit or even leaving your 9-to-5 job behind. You don’t have to be an ascetic monk for your life and mind to become perfectly aligned with Taoism principles like Wu Wei (action without effort) or shou Ji (staying present). That doesn’t mean you don’t need time alone in nature, but it does mean that your daily spiritual practice can be simple.
As long as we naturally do our best daily at work, home, and in life, then we are on track.
No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, That Was Zen, This Is Tao will lead you closer to total enlightenment.
Whether it’s your first time on the spiritual path or you’re an experienced spiritual traveler, this book will take you to a new level of enlightenment. That Was Zen, This Is Tao is meant for anyone who wants to wake up and live more fully as they move through their days.
You may be closer to enlightenment than you think.
If you have been on the path to enlightenment before, this book is a simple guide to living your way to it. It is easy to read and understand and written in a clear and engaging style.
The Tao was written around 2600 years ago by Lao Tzu, a Chinese philosopher, and writer. He believed there was an underlying force behind everything in our universe—wisdom or power that created a balance between yin and yang (two opposing forces). He also believed that people should live with simplicity, peace, and harmony with nature to find their way back into this harmony with nature through meditation or self-reflection.
Conclusion
Whether you’re a spiritual beginner or an experienced practitioner, That Was Zen, This Is Tao is for everyone who wants to live their life with more joy and less stress. It’s time for us all to find our inner peace and be in harmony with the world around us. The book will show you how.
