Respectfully listen to the recitation of Chapter 1 of the Tao Te Ching by renowned Chinese medical expert Wu Mingjie

More than 2500 years ago, Laozi left behind a timeless masterpiece - the Tao Te Ching. It begins with the first chapter, revealing the fundamental mysteries of the universe and life. Next, let's listen together to 'Body Path'. Chapter One.

The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao;

道可道，非常道。

The name that can be named is not the eternal name.

名可名，非常名。

The nameless is the origin of heaven and earth;

无名，天地之始；

With a name, it is the mother of all things.

有名，万物之母。

Therefore, ever without desire, one observes its mystery;

故常无，欲以观其妙；

Ever with desire, one observes its manifestations.

常有，欲以观其徼。

These two emerge together, but differ in name;

此两者同出而异名，

Together they are called the profound.this appears as darkness.

同谓之玄。

Profound and profound,

玄之又玄，

It is the gateway to all wonders.

众妙之门。
