【About the speaker/facilitator/author】
Cico (Chonghe Zhang) lives what he says and says what he lives. He dedicates his life to facilitating anyone earnest observing the actual activity of the brain and coming upon the truth that stays unchanged across various dynamic life situations.
He shares the same perception with Laozi (Well, it seems there is no better way than simply putting out such a statement. Anyone can verify it by attending the session to converse with Cico). Safeguarded by oneness and his capacity for speaking both Chinese and English, his translation of 81 chapters of Tao Te Ching stays coherent as it is; otherwise, coherence is impossible, when the translator has its self-projected interpretation of Tao Te Ching.
This series of sessions is based on Cico's translation of Tao Te Ching. Cico will be the speaker of the talk on various fundamental topics, facilitating deep conversations with the participants.
▸
This group is for earnest ones to know oneself completely, to explore the true meditation, to master the art of non-doing, which is the essence of Tao Te Ching, the most fundamental and practical in daily life.
A series of sessions in Oct and Nov 2024 are given by Cico (Chonghe Zhang) on Tao Te Ching, real meditation and various fundamental issues of living and existence.
All sessions are free and open to donations.
The Meetup group is managed by Foundation Mindiverse, Stichting, ANBI (algemeen nut beogende instelling), KVK number: 81799802

【About Tao Te Ching】
Tao Te Ching, authored by Laozi ( 6th century BC), is comparatively well-known in the West and is one of the most translated texts in world literature.
It conveys the tremendous importance of non-doing psychologically, which is totally related to inner peace, clarity and compassion.
One common misconception is its association with Taoism, in fact, Taoism was invented by later generations after Laozi and based on the incomplete understanding of Tao Te Ching. Laozi is non-religious and non-sectarian and what he says is down-to-earth and practical.
These sessions on Tao Te Ching are educational, insightful and healing, which appeal to people from all walks of life.
【Highlights】
These sessions will facilitate people to grasp the true meaning of Tao Te Ching and learn the wisdom of psychological non-doing.
- Authentic. The speaker of the session, Chonghe Zhang, lives what he teaches and teaches what he lives. He perceives as Laozi did. There is no hypocrisy in any sense. Therefore the teaching is pure and truthful. (For more about the speaker, please see below)
- Immersive and interactive. The sessions contain public talks and dialogues. The speaker responds to any questions and point out the issue directly. It is engaging and enlightening.
- Free ebook as a textbook: The English version of Tao Te Ching, written by the speaker, published in October 2023, is offered free to all participants to savour the true meaning of Laozi in their daily life.
