Three: Walking in a Good Way - Part Two

The Dao De Jing is the second most translated and studied book in the history of the world!

The title is often translated as 'The Path of Virtue', or 'The Way of Power.'

In part One, Alex and Michael review the first two episodes and Michael shares a story of a 'trance-like' experience that turned his Daoist journey inside out.

In Part Two, Michael discusses the Chinese terms (and characters) for Dao, De, Zi Ran, and Wu Wei. The core principles from the Dao De Jing.

Enjoy!
