"A Farmer at Work"    Li Huashengi     circa.1980

"Be aware of Tao."
Isn't that simple?
No -- let's reduce it more:
 

     "Be Tao."

 
 
 

Why go through all this rigamorole?  Why endlessly examine scriptures and debate obscure actions of long-dead saints and equally dead words?  We need to affirm experience over
words, individuality over dogma.

After all this study of Tao, there should only be this simple conclusion: There is only us and Tao.

No, more simple still is to be Tao itself.  Then everything that is Tao is us.

Those who follow Tao reduce everything in complexity until they reach the final irreducible conclusion: You are Tao.  When you can be that without any contraditions, then you have truly achieved sublime simplicity.
