Live Softley The Little Book of Dao

This little book is not a study book, but a faithful travel companion. It fits in your jacket pocket, your bag, or next to your pillow. Take it with you on the train, into the forest, or during a quiet moment at home. Read one chapter, one line, or just a single word; let it do its work. The Dao De Jing, the Xin Ming and the Hsin Hsin Ming are presented here in a sober and clear way, without accumulating explanations. In addition, you will find three short original texts by Roland that feel like a natural flowering of the same spirit. Leave space for yourself: Write down your own insights, questions, or simple notes on the dotted lines or in the margins. This is a workbook for daily use; an open window to silence, in which your own experience is welcome to appear. This little book is like a kind hand on your shoulder that says: “You don’t have to understand everything. You don’t have to search. Just pause. Look. Write something down or leave it blank. It’s all good.” Live softly. Go with Dao.
