Daoism and Wu Wei

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Daoism teaches living in accord with the dao, the way of nature, through wu wei—effective action without forcing.

Show

The Daodejing praises water: the softest thing, yet it carves canyons. Power through yielding, movement with the grain.

Watch for

Wu wei is not passivity. It is acting without strain against how things already run.
