28 Jun “POLITICS, WAR, PEACE & THE TAO TE CHING”
For our Tao Te Ching Politics, War, Peace discussion, please consider the following verses from Stephen Mitchells translation of the Tao Te Ching:
Verse 30
“Whoever relies on the Tao in governing men doesnt try to force issues or defeat enemies by force of arms.
For every force there is a counterforce.Violence, even well intentioned, Always rebounds upon oneself.”
Verse 31
“Weapons are the tools of violence; all decent men detest them. Weapons are the tools of fear;
a decent man will avoid them except in the direst necessity and, if compelled, will use them
only with the utmost restraint.Peace is his highest value. If the peace has been shattered,how can he be content?
His enemies are not demons,but human beings like himself. He doesnt with them personal harm.
Nor does he rejoice in victory.How could he rejoice in victory and delight in the slaughter of men?
He enters a battle gravely,with sorrow and with great compassion, as if he were attending a funeral?”
Consider the political and social issues facing us today:
The War in Iraq
Terrorism in the M
iddle East, Russia, Indonesia
Conflicts in the development and employment of Nuclear Weapons in North Korea, China, India & Pakistan
How might our world leaders apply the principles of the Tao Te Ching in avoiding violent conflict in todays world?
How can the ancient teachings of Lao-tzu bring about harmony and peace
