The Glocal Book:"The Book of Tea" by Okakura Kakuzou(Tenshin)-No.34

The Tao = the Mode of the Universe


Striped Porgy by Katashi Oyama 「The Tao is in the Passage rather than the Path.
It is the spirit of the Cosmic Change,-the eternal growth which returns upon itself to produce new forms.
It reconcils upon like dragon, the beloved symbol of the Taoists.
It folds and unfolds as do the clouds.
The Tao might be spoken of as the Great Transition.
Subjectively it is the Mode of the Univwese.
Its Absolute is the Relative. 」
(From the Book of Tea-Taoism and Zennism,pp.37-38, Charles E. Tuttle Co., Rutland, Vermont-Tokyo,Japan)

I must remember as follows.
「The Tao is in the Passage and the spirit of the Cosmic Change,the Great Transition.
It is the Mode of the Universe.
Its Absolute is the Relative.」

Nietzsche, Germany philosopher and poet, well understood the Tao.
He resulted in the Idea to love the philosophy of the Eternal Returnning of the Fate.
