What The Most Carefree Philosopher Can Teach Us | ZHUANGZI

Zhuangzi embodies a sense of calm, playfulness, and humility. He saw the world differently. As opposed to many of his contemporaries, he manages to break through conventions, let go of fixed views, and look beyond the human scope and understanding of right and wrong. He saw the usefulness in uselessness, beauty in ugliness, and order in chaos.

*”Do not fear having no friends. Fear having bad friends”* ~My life taught lesson

[SofoArchon]

"The man of Tao acts without impediment,
He harms no other being by his actions,
Yet he does not know himself
to be kind and gentle.

He does not struggle to make money
And he does not make a virtue of poverty.

He goes without relying on others,
And does not pride himself
on walking alone.

The man of Tao remains unknown.
Perfect virtue produces nothing.
No Self is True Self.
And the greatest man is nobody."

~Chuang Tzu

I love how Zhuangzi's philosophy emphasizes the importance of subjective experience. A little nudge to remember that each and every one of us are on our own unique path in life and there is not one single 'perfect' way to go about it 🙏

This captures the attitude I'm aiming for this spring and summer. Long live the wisdom of Zhuangzi!

[anudarib]

This is by far one of your best works ❤❤. Can't express how much peace it gave me. Heard of him before and shrugged off thinking not as major as the other Chinese philosophers 😅. Thank you so much. Also look at adorable art, he looks so cute and kind

Idk if you’ll see this but I just wanted to say thank you so much for creating these videos. They’ve helped me so much after my break up

[Justineyedia]

Everything that's created comes out of silence. Your thoughts emerge from the nothingness of silence. Your words come out of this void. Your very essence emerged from emptiness. All creativity requires some stillness.

Thank you for this enlightening video on Zhuangzi, the carefree philosopher. His perspective on life is truly refreshing and thought-provoking. The way he breaks through conventions and fixed views to see the world in his unique way is inspiring. His teachings remind us to embrace the flow of life, see the beauty in the ordinary, and find usefulness in what seems useless. This video is a great reminder not to take life too seriously and to live spontaneously, free from constraining dogmatic rules. I particularly loved the story of Zhuangzi choosing to remain an 'ordinary turtle', valuing his peace and freedom over power and prestige. It's a lesson many of us could benefit from in our modern, fast-paced world. Keep up the great work!

I have found the following practice helpful
" pick a sound(fan whirring, binaural beats birds chirping, your choice) and fixate all your conscious attention on it. That way your mind would not have enough conscious attention to create thought. Mind would try to pull you back into thought. Just ignore it and keep you attention glued on the sound."

[Yungbeck]

I love being in the ZONE. You transcend everything. So many people never even get to experience that state. Wu-Wei is the way.

[anaperilla]

All things in the universe need each other, and work together as a whole. That is indeed the beuty of it!!!!
Love all your videos! I am such a big fan, they give me perspective and a sense of tranquility.
