Inspired by Tao Te Ching - chapter 42

道德經 42 章

道生一,一生二,二生三,三生萬物。萬物負陰而抱陽,沖氣以為和。

My translation of chapter 42 of Tao Te Ching:

Tao begets One
the beginning of existence

One develops into Two
the birth of opposites

Two unites to become Three
the essence of everything

Everything carries Yin and embraces Yang
With Tao, Yin an Yang are in harmony

Paul's comment: The best way to have an experiential understanding of Tao is through Taoist meditation. Without an experiential understanding, Tao is almost meaningless!
