Episode Synopsis "Tao te Ching Chapter Five"
Thomas Brill and Brian Parks chatting again. This week we talked about chapter 5 of the Tao te Ching. Heaven and Earth are not humane; They regard the the thousand things as straw dogs. The Sage is not humane; He regards the common people as straw dogs. The space between Heaven and Earth—is it not like a bellow? It is empty and yet not depleted; Move it and more [always] comes out. Much learning means frequent exhaustions. That's not so good as holding on to the mean. Here is a link to the audio file for chapter 5 if you are not using iTunes. https://s3.amazonaws.com/tao4two/TtCCh5.mp3
