Deeper in the Heart
Taoist propriety and ethics emphasize the Three Jewels of the Tao: compassion, moderation, and humility, while Taoist thought generally focuses on nature, the relationship between humanity and the cosmos; health and longevity; and wu wei (action through inaction). Harmony with the Universe, or the source thereof (Tao), is the intended result of many Taoist rules and practices. >The deeper I am in my heart, the deeper my well of compassion. I consider myself quite humble. Moderation??? If moderation suggests I eat a cheese burger, I’ll have to be a radical but I would prefer to think of it as compassion for animals.
