Allan Watts on Taoism
One of the key concepts in Taoism, according to Watts, is the idea of "wu wei," which translates as "non-action" or "effortless action." This does not mean complete inactivity, but rather a kind of spontaneous and effortless action that is in harmony with the natural flow of the universe.
Another important aspect of Taoism that Watts emphasized was the idea of the Tao, which can be understood as the underlying, unifying force that permeates all things in the universe. The Tao cannot be fully understood or described in words, but can be experienced through direct observation of nature and the natural world.
Watts also emphasized the importance of balancing yin and yang energies in Taoist philosophy, which represents the complementary and opposing forces in the universe. The balance between these forces is seen as essential for achieving harmony and balance in life.
