Classic of the Virtue of the Tao written
by Lao-tzu's is regarded as classic book on ‘Tao’ thought. Tao is process which
summarizes all things in an entirety and systemic way. Tao is not a substance of
static mechanical way of thinking, but an originality of process. Furthermore, Tao
is mother of university, and nothing and existences are both from Tao. Dao is discipline,
reflecting the movement discipline of things. It is the causal finales of universal
change. At last, Tao is law of nature requiring people to abide the law of nature.
This phrase is from Chapter
26 of TaoDeJing. This thought was put forward by Lao Tzu, 4th-century Chinese philosopher
on whose teachings Lao-Tzu based Taoism, founder of Taoist. Below is the full text
of Chapter 26 of TaoDeJing:
26. Calm
Gravity is the source of lightness,
Calm, the master of haste.
A lone traveller will journey all day, watching over his belongings;
Yet once safe in his bed he will lose them in sleep.
The captain of a great vessel will not act lightly or hastily.
Acting lightly, he loses sight of the world,
Acting hastily, he loses control of himself.
A captain can not treat his great ship as a small boat;
Rather than glitter like jade
He must stand like stone.

Chinese Calligraphy Wall Scroll artwork is created by our talented disabled
artists.
Disabled artist, Mr. Wang, has
sat in a wheelchair more than 30 years after a catastrophic accident during fieldwork
left him paralyzed from the waist down. Master Wang was gracefully moving and pausing
his brush that can be mesmerizing, and there is one of his artworks on display here.
When I first saw a person without
hands who could not only write but also became a good calligrapher, I was shocked!
