The Simple Way, Part 28

The Simple Way
The Life & Teachings of Zhouzi
by Scott Bradley


A villager approached Zhouzi and said, “Master, all the sages say we must discover our inborn nature, but as hard as I try, it always alludes me.”

“Master, I see only my face reflected.”

“You have seen that which you seek. In this way, there is only this world. There is no other.”
