Zhuangzi (Chuang Tzu)

Zhuangzi (Chuang Tzu) was an influential Chinese philosopher from the 4th century BCE, associated with Daoism. His teachings emphasize harmony with the natural world, spontaneity, and the limits of human knowledge. Through stories and parables, he encourages embracing change, humility, and the idea that rigid distinctions and judgments are often illusory. Zhuangzi advocates understanding life as a flowing, interconnected process, inviting us to let go of artificial desires and see the world with open, flexible perspectives. His work continues to inspire thoughts on balance, acceptance, and the nature of reality.
