Enquiring About the Dao – Lineage Poem
Original Chinese Language Article By: Qianfeng Daoist Master Zhao Ming Wang (赵明旺)
(Translated by Adrian Chan-Wyles PhD)
………………………………………………….
Many ask of the few that practice the discipline - can the Dao be known?
They ask if it is great, or if it has a name – this type of enquiry harms the Dao.
The foundation of the Dao is attained only by cultivating goodness and virtue.
Is a successful business the Dao? Can money buy eternal youth and health?
How can the internal and external serve greed – ridiculous isn’t it?
I laugh – why are the ignorant upset when their ignorance is questioned?
At this humble hermitage 100 rivers flow freely into a single truth that benefits the world.

问道
问道者千万,修道者万千,可知道?
问者,问其大问其名,而以误其道 。
修者,自其朴德善,勤而用之以得,
买卖是道否千古双修钱可买否?
内外其仆可笑否?哈哈不笑可道否?
草堂依小,容百川真学不贵显世间。
