Comments and Corrections to D.C. Lau's Mencius (Version of June 26, 1997) This version of "Comments and Corrections," based upon the research of P.J. Ivanhoe, David S. Nivison and Bryan W. Van Norden, was compiled by Van Norden (who is, therefore, solely responsible for all errors). Comments and corrections to these comments and corrections are welcome, but please do not cite this without obtaining permission. D.C. Lau's Mencius (New York: Penguin Books, 1970) was a major achievement by a brilliant translator and comparative philosopher. Nonetheless, scholarship has advanced considerably since Lau's translation. "Comments and Corrections," which grows out of thousands of hours teaching Mencius at Stanford and other institutions, is an attempt to correct what we now know to be errors in Lau's translation, and provide students with some guidance on particularly difficult passages. The arguments for various corrections and interpretations have frequently been omitted to save space. (In the future, Van Norden plans to produce a book providing translations and commentary on selected passages from the Mencius , but it is hoped that this will serve until that project is completed.) Comments and corrections to these "Comments and Corrections" are always welcome.

var TlxPgNm='id30'; Lau Tzu Chinese Taoist Philosopher c. 600 B.C.E. The specific date of birth of Lao Tzu is unknown. Legends vary, but scholars place his birth between 600 and 300 B.C.E. Lao Tzu is attributed with the writing of the "Tao-Te Ching," ( tao -meaning the way of all life, te -meaning the fit use of life by men, and ching -meaning text or classic). Lao Tzu was not his real name, but an honorific given the sage, meaning "Old Master." Lao Tzu's wise council attracted followers, but he refused to set his ideas down in writing. He believed that written words might solidify into formal dogma. Lao Tzu wanted his philosophy to remain a natural way to live life with goodness, serenity and respect. Lao Tzu laid down no rigid code of behavior. He believed a person's conduct should be governed by instinct and conscience. Lao Tzu believed that human life, like everything else in the universe, is constantly influenced by outside forces. He believed "simplicity" to be the key to truth and freedom. Lao Tzu encouraged his followers to observe, and seek to understand the laws of nature; to develop intuition and build up personal power; and to use that power to lead life with love, and without force. Legend says that in the end Lao Tzu, saddened by the evil of men, set off into the desert on a water buffalo leaving civilization behind. When he arrived at the final gate at the great wall protecting the kingdom, the gatekeeper persuaded him to record the principles of his philosophy for posterity. The result was the eighty-one sayings of the "Tao-Te Ching." This ancient Chinese text is the world's most translated classic next to the Bible.

45. Taoism If so, may have thought Confucius an upstart/innovator, which he denies). Like Confucius, Lau Tzu built on aspects of (preexisting) Chinese thought eg. http://www.geocities.com/clintonbennett/Lectures/Taoism.html

Daoism (Taoism) Lecture Notes By Clinton Bennett, PhD Lao Tzu (circa 600 BCE; although some date much later - 200 BCE) often called "founder". Legendary figure/born from a star/old and wise from birth! Name means 'Old Boy'. Credited as author of Daode Jing Tao Te Ching The Way and its Power He appears to have differed with Confucius on a number of issues (stories of their meeting! If so, may have thought Confucius an upstart/innovator, which he denies). Like Confucius, Lau Tzu "built on" aspects of (pre-existing) Chinese thought e.g. that reality is two-sided; Yin (feminine; dark, cool, moist) and Yang (masculine; hot, dry, bright). Both are necessary/equal and nothing is exclusively either (all are a blend of both). These (and all apparent opposites) need to be kept in balance/harmony to avoid chaos. See the Book of Changes ( I Ching ; as early as 1,094 BCE), which teaches that 'conflict is, in the end, inner conflict' (1992 p 15) And The Dao/Tao (the way = essential flow of the universe in which opposites are reconciled). Lau Tzu taught: the Dao is ultimately beyond comprehension but it is possible to live in harmony with its flow; it is "non-being" that produces "being"/"reality".

46. Wing Chun's Combat Mentality Lau Tzu wrote, It is because arms are instruments of ill omen and there are Things that detest them that one who has the way does not abide by their use http://www.wckfc.com/article/dave/dave.htm

Wing Chun's Combat Mentality Putting it all Together by "Gau Lin" David Pangan "No man is invincible, and therefore no man can fully understand that which would make him invincible. " Musashii The martial arts were developed for the sole purpose of defending one's self, family, beliefs, and country from aggression. Naturally, with a difference in cultures various methods and tools were developed according to fighting experiences and study. Often, people believe that victory in fighting is obtained merely through the application of proper techniques and by learning these techniques anyone should be capable of winning. So the question arises why if all techniques are basically the same and acquire their validity from universal principles is it that one man prevails over another? The answer is the fighting mentality, the mind of the warrior. Martial arts were developed to survive the reality of combat not for sport or entertainment. A true warrior does not fight for trophies, money, or recognition; to do so is a perversion of martial arts and a desecration of the honor and virtues upon which a warrior builds his character. At what price will one sell his honor? An essential component of a warrior mind set is humility. Humility is the realization that one does not know everything and that every person has the ability to teach us something about ourselves. A great fighter realizes that there are no guarantees and that anyone can win or lose on any given day. He does not boast of his ability nor instigate a confrontation he respects everyone and degrades no one. Lau Tzu wrote, "One who excels as a warrior does not appear formidable; One who excels in fighting is never roused in anger, One who excels in defeating his enemy does not join issue; One who excels in employing others humbles himself before them."3

La Mentalidad del Combate del Wing Chun formando un conjunto Por Jo Gau David Pangan. "Ningún hombre es invencible, y por lo tanto, ningún hombre puede completamente comprender lo que le haría invencible. " Musashii Las artes marciales se crearon con el único propósito de defenderse a uno mismo, a su familia, a sus creencias y a su patria de la agresión. Naturalmente, habiendo diferentes culturas, se desarrollaron varios métodos y sistemas de acuerdo con las diferentes experiencias y estudios de el combate. Frecuentemente la gente cree que la victoria en una pelea se obtiene tan solo por la aplicación propia de técnicas, y al aprender estas técnicas, cualquiera es capaz de ganar. Así que la pregunta se nos presenta: ¿si todas las técnicas son básicamente iguales, y adquieren su validez de los mismos principios universales, por qué es que un hombre prevalece contra otro? La respuesta es: la mentalidad de el combate. La mente de el guerrero. Las artes marciales se desarrollaron para sobrevivir la realidad del combate, no se desarrollaron como deporte ni forma de entretenimiento. Un verdadero guerrero no peléa por troféos ni por reconicimiento; el hacerlo es una perversión de las artes marciales, y es profanar el honor y las virtudes sobre los cuales un guerrero basa su caracter. ¿A qué precio venderá uno su honor? Hay un principio que declara que al pelear, uno saldrá golpeado.

Anthropology 155- GWU Religion, Myth, and Magic Professor Wesch Lecture #8 September 26th 2001 Freud’s idea of the unconscious – We don’t have to judge myth on some scale of rationality as Frazer did. Myth doesn’t necessarily have historical or even physical reference. Well, this changes everything. Myths with shape-shifters, monsters, dragons, - what can you do with that? It is like a dream. This is where Jung begins. Jung Bio: Severe depression – sought a myth to live by. Went back to childhood joy of building with stone. Starts to dream – writes them down. They get better and better. Draws the images – finds them to be the same as images in myth. Through these he re-connected to the world. Found archetypes common to myths throughout the world. Suggests they have deep evolutionary basis. Proposes idea of the Collective Unconscious: The universal underlying and unknown psychology of human beings. The unconscious we all share from our evolutionary heritage. Personal Unconscious: The unconscious that grows out of one’s own individual experience. It consists of all one has forgotten or repressed in service and in defense of the ego.

49. Approaching Tao (Recalling Carol’s talk last week) historical authenticity of Lau Tzu does not The ideas of Lau Tzu were seen as somewhat as an alternative to Confucianism. http://user.ksni.net/~uuquincy/talks/tao.htm

The Quincy Unitarian Church Home Page The list of Selected Sermons Approaching Tao Presented January 7, 2001 by Kevin Ballard Introduction: I was a little surprised, though pleased, to receive an invitation to talk on Taoism. My credentials comprise, wholly, one errant remark made some time back that I felt I identify more closely with Taoist thinking than I do with any other one philosophy. So, please allow me to distance myself some from my topic by saying I am not, strictly, a Taoist Houston Smith, - some of you are likely familiar the name - a widely recognized purveyor of world religions, suggests there are three loosely associated branches of Taoism: Religious Taoism, Vitalizing Taoism (also called Qigong), and Philosophic Taoism. I would agree. This talk, in fact, is going to focus on Taoist philosophy. The intricate and often magical practices that have developed in China as Taoist Religion are mostly foreign to my sensibility, but I hope to provide at least some outline for the way these pantheistic rituals flow from the philosophy. Likewise, the Vitalizing Taoism developed into very specialized practices, some of it often more akin to alchemy, but it too is based on the traditional herbal, folk-healing and meditational practices that have its roots in Taoist philosophy. So, the religious and health branches are the outward manifestations -often very colorful practices that obviously meet very specific cultural needs, but which are not essential, I believe, to an appreciation of the inward meeting with Tao.

54. Body patterns). lau tzu put it like this; lau tzu lived in the same era as the young heraclitus;. Ever desireless, one can see the mystery. http://www.goodshare.org/valentin.htm

the polarities of resonance valentine's day, 1998 no offense intended but to set aside a specific day so as to routinely 'demonstrate' one's affections (i.e. valentine's day) seems like a huge insult to one of nature's most charming emergent behaviors. the (pagan) roman's idea of this february 14th celebration was that " single men and women would hold toga parties during which the winners of a love lottery would slip off to make love". moral and practical questions aside, this seems to be far more in the spirit of 'creativity' or 'fertility' than is the current practice. the essence of all types of collaboration (loving couples, anthills, beehives, factories, families) is 'resonance' - a synchronous mutual reinforcement which may be brought about by two very different devices; i.e. by mutually recognized generalizations (rule structures) based on historic experience and/or; by a mutual 'tuning-in' to evolving patterns of creative (unpredictable) flow. while we regularly make use of both, the priority or 'polarity' of usage is what separates eastern and western philosophies. so which resonances 'should' one seek first? ... the resonances of an unpredictable (mysterious), creative, collective flow (i.e. 'the Tao') or the resonances of predictable 'material' generalizations? there is mounting introspection in the west (e.g. 'The Spell of the Sensous') as to how our western 'resonance polarity', which subordinates creativity to generalization, may be 'out of synch' with nature and the primary source of much of our social dysfunction.

58. The Tao Of Architecture Chang uses Lautzu s TaoTe-Ching as a template for a text on creating architecture, specifically intangible content s importance in architectural composition http://www.archidose.org/Nov99/110199.html

The Tao of Architecture Amos Ih Tiao Chang This is an excerpt from Amos Chang's The Tao of Architecture , words that stand up on their own and ring true today, as much as they did when written, in 1956. Chang uses Lautzu's Tao-Te-Ching as a template for a text on creating architecture, specifically intangible content's importance in architectural composition over tangible form. The illustrations are a project I completed for the 1998 James Steedman fellowship competition, sponsored by Washington University in St. Louis. The multi-use project is located on the Seine River, across from Notre Dame in Paris. The means for architectural composition is something conceivable. To achieve the end of a composition concerns personal creativity and is beyond our knowing. It seems, however, that Lautzu's thinking is also helpful in this respect. "The way to learn is to assimilate.The way to know is to forget." Consistent with the philosophy of non-being, to forget is regarded as an affirmative and constructive action. This is obvious to anyone who has experience in creative work. It is so, not only because we believe that there is a creative power existing in our subconscious mentality, but also because the more forgetful a man is, the less he will be inhibited by his knowledge which may and may not be helpful in a new problem. missing image Knowing that the living part of nature exists in void, one would believe that knowledge is subordinated to creative forgetfulness. Analogously, knowledge is similar to solid, creative forgetfulness is similar to void. They are both needed for construction of a creation, but each has a different contribution to make. In he infinite garden of creative forgetfulness where the soil is fresh and resourceful, one will find countless possibilities for a composition. Knowledge is profitable but usually of such rigid formation that one's creative imagination and thinking cannot freely within its limitation. Similar to the relationship between void and solid, knowledge can always s penetrate in to the emptiness of creative forgetfulness. While materially man moves and sees through void, mentally he imagines and thinks through creative forgetfulness.
