Talks by Zen Roshi, Lola McDowell Lee
Lao Tzu: Existence renders actual. Non-existence renders useful. Oct 7, 1984
Lola McDowell Lee discusses Lao Tzu's philosophy that existence makes things actual while non-existence makes them useful. She relates this to Yin and Yang, the utility of empty space in a house, and the mind's state during sleep, suggesting non-action is not inactivity.
