Excerpts from the book “The Book of Lieh-Tzu - A Classic of Tao”, by AC Graham. Lie-Tzu or Lie Yukou (400 BC - 301 BC), was an influential philosopher of Chinese Taoism. Born in China, Lie-Tzu lived in the so-called Chinese Spring and Autumn period of the Western Zhou dynasty, but little is known about his life. Lie-Tzu's teachings range from the origin and purpose of life, the Taoist view of reality and the nature of enlightenment to the training of body and mind, communication and the importance of personal freedom. ????

Everything we do is in harmony with the natural order. The infant is not affected by the things that happen around him. Virtue and ethics cannot restrict his will. Naked and free from social conventions, he follows the natural path of the heart.” Lie-Tzu. “Let your eyes see what they see, not what others want you to see. Let your ears hear what they naturally hear, not what others want you to hear. Let your mouth speak freely and not be constrained by the approval or disapproval of others. Let your mind think what it wants to think and do not let the demands of others dictate your thoughts. If your senses and mind are not allowed to do what they naturally want to do, you are denying them their rights. When you cannot think, feel, or act freely, your body and mind are injured. Break these oppressions and you will cultivate life.” Lie-Tzu. “If you want to earn a name and a title, you must sacrifice your integrity and humility. If you want to be sincere and honest, you will not receive much social recognition.” Lie-Tzu.
