A Classic Chinese Word Chop-Suey



  • TAO K'O TAO FEI CH'ANG TAO
    (WAY CAN SPEAK , NOT CONSTANT WAY)

    MING K'O MING FEI CH'ANG MING
    (NAME CAN NAME , NOT CONSTANT NAME)

    .....
    (Tao Te Ching)



  • The Way that can be spoken of , Is not the lasting way
    The Name that can be named, Is not the enduring name.

    But then the named stuff appeared in thousands
    To see through the mystery, just don't desire anything
