“Success comes from being in a state of effortless action, not from achieving self-created goals.” I see a connection between the ideas of ikigai, flow state, and Wu-wei. The Daoist/Taoist concept of Wu-wei (無為) is literally translated as “non-action,” but leans more to the point of “effortless action.” This is action without intention, or “purposeless action.” I believe Alan Watts was the first to interpret Wu-wei as “purposelessness.” Wu-wei refers to behavior that stems from understanding that we are connected to the people around us, our environment, and nature. It comes from interconnectivity, not separateness. It is movement and action that is effortless and spontaneous. This is represented by the saying of “going with the flow.” It's the concept of being better off swimming with the stream instead of trying to go upstream. This is consciously becoming a part of life's flow. Purposelessness is about fully living life in the moment. It's not about focusing on the goal or questioning or doubting yourself about where it's leading. It's not about worrying about the future in which we cannot control, and it's not about dwelling on the past which is already done. Wu-wei in Business...

According to Monk Yun Rou--Yale educated, South-Florida based author of 15 books, Tai Chi Master and Daoist monk ordained in China--if we adhered to the principles set forth around 500 BC by Lao Tzu in the Tao Te Ching, we wouldn't be in this mess--but there is just enough time to commit to the Daoist (Taoist) way if our world is to avert "The Sixth Great Extinction." https://www.monkyunrou.com

In this episode of Enlightenment Today I will explain Zhuangzi's natural philosophy of oneness. This is the ability to perceive the infinite in all things, which allows us to experientially feel the actual unity of life deep within our heart-mind. This is the Daoist (Taoist) vision of the universe which runs counter to the Western trained cognition of individualism and partiality. Zhuangzi explains how our analytical training blinds us to the oneness of the universe and this problem is only becomes worse because of analytical focused education. This is Zhuangzi's natural understanding that life exists with no labels and the analytical training to discern between "this" and "that" is a human flaw which leads to a subjective viewpoint of right and wrong, and good and evil, which we all superimpose onto an objective reality which is actually the same for all. This incorrect perception is the seed of all conflict. To see reality as it truly is, in its infinite oneness, Zhuangzi advises us to fast the mind. Only then will our mind be cleansed and, as a result, the world will be at peace.

Mad Monk Manifesto: A Prescription for Evolution, Revolution, and Global Awakening Show Guest: Monk Yun Rou According to Monk Yun Rou–Yale educated, South Florida based author of 15 books According to Monk Yun Rou, award-winning author and journalist, if we adhered to the principles set forth around 500 BC by Lao Tzu in the Tao Te Ching, we wouldn’t be in this mess–but there is just enough time to commit to the Daoist (Taoist) way if our world is to avert “The Sixth Great Extinction.” In his beautifully penned guidebook, Mad Monk Manifesto — A Prescription for Evolution, Revolution and Global Awakening Monk Yun Rou reveals all the ways we as individuals, our society and our institutions can adapt and apply Daoist wisdom and practices to life today. “Relaxing and Rectifying,” “Rebalancing Daily Life”,”Fostering Community and Deepening Culture” – it is all about how we treat each other. Next, Monk Yun Rou tackles “Culture, Commerce, Government and Power” and “Sensitivity and the Environment,” closing with his plea for “Awakening to Spirit and Service.” Filled with iconic stories taken from ancient Chinese writings, his own experiences and astute observations, the Mad Monk Manifesto will spur conversation and open new awareness…hopefully before it’s too late.
