(Purchase Book and CDs)

SoulType 1, Chapter 37


The Tao is eternal not doing (wu wei) yet does everything.
When all people can uphold it, ten-thousand things (everything) will naturally evolve.

When I am influenced by deep-seated desires, I will restrain them without naming them in order to keep my purity.

By focusing on the uncarved block of wood or the uncut jade, the master will be without deep-seated desires.
Without deep-seated desires there is tranquility in Heaven below (the sacred body) and peace follows.
