*~* Lao Tzu's Hua Hu Ching*~*
Lao Tzu is the author of the Tao Teh Ching, one of the most frequently translated and most cherished books in the world. This ancient Chinese classic, written around 500 B.C., presents the core of the Taoist philosophy and provides a bridge to the subtle truth as awell as a practical guideline for natural and harmonious living.
It is generally believed that Lao Tzu left behind only a single work, the Tao Teh Ching. Few people are aware that some of his later teachings were recorded also around 500 B.C. in a book called the Hua Hu Ching. During a time of political turmoil in the 14th century, all copies of his work were banned and ordered to be burned. Consequently few, if any, complete and accurate copies exist today. Fortunately the complete teachings of the Hua Hu Ching have been preserved through the oral transmission of generation after generation of Taoist Masters to their disciples.
This excerpt from the Hua Hu Ching comes from a book called
"The Complete Works of LAO TZU - Tao Te Ching & Hua Hu Ching" by Hua -Ching Ni
HUA HU CHING - #3
The master told the prince and all the followers, "All of my friends and disciples should attune their minds to all of life and hold no antagonism toward any living thing, whether it be born of womb, egg, moisture or any other kind of transformation, whether it can think or is unable to think, whether it has form or is formless. You should dissolve all discrimination of individuality and absorb all things into a harmonious oneness. All lives are one life that can be called the One Great Univeral Life. Virtue is developed by highly evolved people who embrace all people and things and dispel the darkness which isolates them. Although innumerable lives are illuminated, highly evolved people do not think they have helped anyone, because to them the world is synonymous with oneself and one's self in the world. One who is aware of the whole really helps others. Why is this so? Kind prince, if one still holds the divisive mental concepts of self and others, male and female, longevity and brevity, life and death, and so on without end, then one does not have an all-embracing awareness of the Universal Life."
