Welcome back to The Tao Te Ching podcast. I’m glad you’re here. Today's chapter is Lao Tzu's clearest teaching on this hidden power, and he opens it with a string of paradoxes that sound, at first, like they cannot possibly be true. To follow along and to meditate by yourself, you can download the reading plan and the version of the Tao Te Ching I am reading here. All episodes are available here. With gratitude.
