About this Event
This event is about Tao Te Ching and its original meaning, the understanding of which embodies true meditation.
The speaker of the event, Cico (Chonghe Zhang), is from China and has lived in the Netherlands for the past decade.
He is an awakening human being who lives what he says and says what he lives, free of any hypocrisy. He denies any nationality.
His awakening experience comes from his diligent and objective observation of himself in his relation to the world, careful penetration into Eastern and Western realities, and unwavering application of Truth to his actual life.
In 2020, he happened to read the Tao Te Ching, the original version in Old Chinese and realized that he had the same perception as Laozi. In the following two years, he presented the Tao Te Ching in Mandarin, which became more understandable to people literally. However, the perception conveyed still shocks many people who live a conditioned and superficial life.
Due to his same perception as Laozi, his translation of the 81 chapters of Tao Te Ching stays coherent as it is, which in turn substantiates the same perception.
That coherence is impossible when the translator interprets the words according to his self-projection without actually understanding them. This is extremely common among various translation versions of the Tao Te Ching.
In the same period, Cico translated Tao Te Ching into English. The book is available on Google Play. A free copy can be obtained via this link.
Cico's same perception as Laozi and his ability to use Chinese and English breaks the translation barrier and builds a bridge between Laozi and people in this modern age.
This series of sessions goes a step further in facilitating anyone earnestly inquiring into various fundamental topics and gaining insight into the mind in real-time interaction with Cico.
Each session includes a public talk from Cico, a deep conversation with Cico, and a Q&A (one can ask any question).
