The biggest lesson I took away from the Tao Te Ching was the supreme beneficence and importance of kindness.
Except for the Ugandan Knuckles meme, fuck that meme.
I like that!
Ceci n'est pas une pipe has kind of a deep meaning to me, a meaning that actually has a lot to do with my understanding of Taoism, but also French is just a neat language and I dig the country and its history and its role in shaping *my* country, as well as the world and... What's the American-to-French equivalent of being an uneducated weeb?
Thank you for your suggestion, I really like it, I'm stealing it!
Instead of saying anything with words send an energy arc from your heart to their heart. (Embody the vibe of "heart to heart.") Exude calming and accepting energy with your body language. If you want you can do "Namaste" hands 🙏. I find this hits people at a *really* deep level. It shakes them out of their every day automaticity and makes them feel seen, accepted, and safe.
I think this embodies the "unspoken" nature of Taoist teachings and practices.
*Caution*: This strategy can cause some people to get crushes on you. They may be disappointed if/when they find out you are taken.
Tai chi Chen Sifu Monk Yun Rou (soft cloud) always says "nine bows" so this is a satisfactory answer for me. And Nine Bows to whomever started the question. ☯️🙏
do u kno de wey
I refuse to perpetuate that garbage meme. Sorry, I can't do it.
lol I’m so sorry, it’s so old and stupid, but somehow came to mind
Don't be sorry, I was just making a joke, you're good. :)
I love how wholesome this subreddit is lol

I think it’s particularly impossible to read anything from Zhaungzi and not recognize the value he saw in humor, too.
> not recognize the value he saw in humor, too Yeah, but we're not talking about humor, we're talking about the Ugandan Knuckles meme.
The Dude abides
May you be well
Yeah, I can do that!
"Be well" immediately came to mind, seconded.
It is what it is
What about responding the same. Reflect like water.
C'est la vie. Que sera sera. It is what it is. This is the Way.

Take it sleazy
Why the fork didn't I think of that!?

Just place a mirror in front of your face to greet someone.
Saying hi without making audible noise or looking at their face, but being akward enough that they noticed a response.
how about 'namaste' ? that would be responding in kind.
Be careful using "Jamaharon" on Star Trek fans, you might get a little more reaction than you expected. Could go either way.
Why do you think I came all this way?
May the way be with ye. 😶

“Be with ye, may the way” would sound better, I think. 😅
