The Natural Way: Lessons from Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi Sheh Seow Wah

The Natural Way is written based on the works of Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi, who are said to have lived abut 2,500 years ago. Their works are known to be paradoxical, and yet they are a real reflection of the reality we have often forgotten. In a gracious and perfect society, people do not need to be circumscribed by unnecessary social norms and values. Let all life flourish naturally with no intervention. The Natural Way advocates one to live in harmony with Nature and its natural law. Do not attempt to harm Nature unnecessarily just to satisfy your desires for material comfort. Align your life with the Principles of Nature and Nature will control you the least. The Natural Way is to bring out the innate nature of people, which is to be generous, humble, and real. Just be natural and reveal your true self. Be yourself and experience the joy of being. That is the Spirit of Dao.
