道可道
The Dao that can be spoken is not the enduring Dao. On the limits of naming and the doorway to wonder.
道 — The Podcast
I'm a Daoist practitioner and translator. In this podcast, I read the Daodejing in Chinese, craft a fresh translation, and sit with each chapter — not as scholarship, but as a practice of inner transformation for myself and for anyone listening.
The Daodejing, Chapter by Chapter
A slow, serious, chapter-at-a-time project. Each episode pairs the original Chinese with a new translation and a reflection on what the chapter asks of us.
天下皆知
When beauty is recognized as beautiful, ugliness arises. On opposites and the sage's way of acting without contention.
The Daodejing Translation
A complete translation of Laozi's 道德经 , available as a free PDF.

Notes
Sitting with Chapter One
A reflection on the opening lines of the Daodejing — the Dao that can be spoken, and the one that can't.
