Let’s Study The Tao te Ching

The class on The Tao te Ching started February 5, 2010 here on The Blog, so you want to start at the beginning, as a wise man once said.   Be sure to provide adequate time for each class --  ignore any desire to skip ahead and view lessons before they are provided. We’re trying to develop a ‘critical mass’ here on The Blog that is able to talk about what we are learning -- what we think of The Tao te Ching. 

All you need do to study one of the world’s great religions here is watch a 2-minute video today. Here is The Tao of Kung Fu - "Seek not to contend."  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SVzzhN-hQI&NR=1

Let’s Study The Tao te Ching

Starting up our studies on comparative religion was given a boost by a friend on Facebook who happened to share with me his work and web site and so on. I spotted a video I just had to view and that led to the discovery that we can all study one of the world’s great religions without having to do much more than pulling up videos from youtube and sitting still and listening for 2-10 minutes. Some of you will even find a whole new world and a way of life that you never knew existed as we move through religions of the world.

To begin, let’s listen to an excerpt from a lecture by Alan Watts discussing the principals of Tao Te Ching:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dimp_KXgdfY&feature=related
Now view a TV rerun from a 70s TV show. Do you remember Carradine on Kung Fu??? This clip takes 2 minutes, yet provides the essence of the lesson in a way you will remember…  The Tao of Kung Fu  - "Fear is the only darkness." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5kBqrHphjo&feature=related
