Essence in Motion

The Dao De Jing states, "We look at it, and we do not see it, and we name it Yi (the Equable). We listen to it, and we do not hear it, and we name it Xi (the Inaudible). We try to grasp it, and we do not get hold of it, and we name it Wei (the Subtle)." The great Dao transcends sensation and perception. From the perspectives of motivation, contents and principles, this book elucidates how to approach the subtlety of the great Dao.
