The Principle of Tao

Topic: Truth & Purpose

“The principle of Tao is just as close as what is right in front of our eyes, in our everyday lives, in eating and drinking, and in the maintaining of normal social relationships – between ruler and subject, and father and son, and between brothers, and spouses, and friends.”

Chu Hsi (Zhu Xi) (1130—1200)
Confucianism

Zhu, Xi. Further Reflections on Things at Hand: Chu Hsi, a Reader, P. 69 [Translated by Allen John. Wittenborn, University Press of America, 1991].
