Taoism, like Tai Chi, is a self-consistent and internally logical system. Its truths are revealed through direct engagement rather than through external frameworks or analogies. As Master Chen emphasizes, “There isn’t anything [analogy] closer [to explain Taoism]. That’s the difficulty [in understanding Taoism for the novice]. And that’s why it [the study of Taoism] is a real pursuit, and yet very few people get it [or reach enlightenment].”
The path to understanding Taoism lies in practicing it directly. Tai Chi, as a physical embodiment of Taoist principles, offers a gateway to this profound and elusive philosophy. Using a basic Tai Chi Chuan exercise termed “Three Directions”, Master Chen explains the concrete applications of Taoist philosophy.
Mystery of the Unseen
The Yin moves, the Yang follows.
To know it is not to speak it,
To act is to forget.
When the body splits, is it one?
When the mind resolves, is it two?
Step into the Dao,
And the answer is not an answer.
