The "Way of Heaven" in the Tao Te Ching is actually what the ancients called the "Way of Heaven". Translated into today's vernacular, it means the laws of nature or the truth of the universe and the rules between heaven and earth. In other words, Lao Tzu explained the truth between heaven and earth to people in the Tao Te Ching. The "heaven" mentioned here refers to nature or the cosmic space in which we live, and "dao" refers to truth or rules and principles. The Way of Heaven

In the philosophical thought of the ancients, all things in the world, the natural space in which we live, including the universe, are called "heaven", and the rotation of the sun and moon, the changes in the four seasons, the movement of stars, the changes in the three worlds, and the vicissitudes of the sea are called "heaven". It's called "kismet". The way of heaven is the rules and truth in the space we live in. As long as the lives living in it must follow it, it is just like a country has its laws. Every citizen must abide by them. Only then will the country be stable and peaceful. If there is Those who cause trouble and violate laws will naturally be punished. The way of heaven is the truth in the universe, and it is also the rules and principles that form all things and maintain the normal life of all living things. The Way of Man

In addition, Laozi also mentioned the "Way of Man" in the Tao Te Ching. The way of heaven is the principle and truth of the operation of heaven and earth, and the way of man is the way of being a human being, which means to be a person of high moral character and a person as good as water. Laozi wrote that the Tao Te Ching not only explains to people what the Way of Heaven is, but also explains how to be a human being. He hopes that people can become people of high moral character. This is also the origin of the name of the Tao Te Ching. Following the Way of Heaven and improving one's character is called "morality". The way of humanity must conform to the way of heaven

The way of nature is the truth of the world, so our way of being a human being must conform to the truth of the world. The so-called cultivation in ancient times is actually to make oneself conform to the way of heaven, practice this truth, and then Be able to surpass ordinary people and become an accomplished ascetic. The same is true for monks in Buddhism. The Dharma they learn is actually the way of heaven, but they have different names. In fact, they all belong to the same sect, and the ultimate goal is the same.
