Peace that is dependent
on circumstances is not
peace.
Happiness that depends
on people or things
is not happiness.
True peace, true happiness
is independent of this world.

A thorough examination of
one's assumptions and beliefs
is all that is required to see that
there is no map for the way things
are supposed to be.

All things appear as they truly are
to those who are not blinded by
self interest.

“What I have written here is an English-language commentary on the classic Chinese Daoist text, the Zhuangzi. The book is named after the late fourth-century BCE philosopher Zhuang Zhou. I have posted it on an open access platform called Knowledge Commons. The link is to a free download”
