For every act of evil, there is an act of beauty. You Can't Change the World, Only Your Attitude Towards It.

Translating the Tao from Chinese

This is a great way to put it: (from the book of tea)


"Translation is always a treason, and as a Ming author observes, can at its best be only the reverse side of a brocade,--all the threads are there, but not the subtlety of colour or design. But, after all, what great doctrine is there which is easy to expound? The ancient sages never put their teachings in systematic form. They spoke in paradoxes, for they were afraid of uttering half-truths."
