“Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know.”
“A Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”
These wise phrases, which you've no doubt heard before are over 2000 years old. They come from Laozi's Daodejing. What many consider to be the founding document of Daoism. This organised religious tradition is known for it's care for nature, peace, and going with the flow.
But what exactly is Daoism? What do Yin, Yang, and Qi mean, and what does it have to do with Obi-Wan Kenobi? Well Let’s Find Out.

There are many many versions of this you can read. Lots of people enjoy the Stephen Mitchell translation. It is written for Westerners to enjoy rather than an actual translation. Ursula LeGuin's version is also quite good. But I like Addiss's version. You can read it free here https://terebess.hu/english/tao/addis...
