Romaric/Xhoni, I ordered Isabelle Robinet's Book in a translated version by Phyllis Brooks. This upon your recommendation. Smilingly looking forward, to read. Xhoni
The problem with names, is as Shakespeare pointed out, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.". The name and the thing are not necessarily the same.
As Crowley pointed out, "Behold yonder beggar may be a King, for a King may chose his garment, but a beggar cannot hide their poverty.".
What is seen and what is experienced are often quite different.
Dogma is definitely not the way, just what it is, seems to be made up as we go about our lives finding out.

It is called Taoism: Growth of a Religion? I think it is another of her books on Taoism. But the content is probably similar in many ways.
Thanks, Romaric/Xhoni, Taoism: Growth of a Religion? Original version in French, I believe. EN-version translated by? Thx., Xhoni

I agree with you. Roses are called Bara 薔薇 in Japanese (pronounced something like bala), it is not very beautiful as a son and yet it smells good.
Dogma is the way to unnecessary confrontation, not knowledge. Politics teaches us that too often!
