7. Merging with the Dust
<p>Master Gu and Eli talk about the Wudang Mountains. Serene and tranquil home to Taoism; also a popular tourist site. How do tourists and Taoists coexist? And what does the "dust" in chapter 4 of the Tao Te Ching mean? What is "merging with the dust" about? Master Gu has some simple yet powerful advice for Eli and everyone about how to maintain inner peace. The poem at the start, 'I Am Wudangshan' is Eli's modest verbal DIY.

6. Purpose
<p>Purpose, ambition, the will to achieve. Emptying the heart-and-mind, filling the belly. To avoid the limelight or to seek it out. No mind, no worries. Is it wise to strive? Surely we need a sense of purpose. We are after all both natural and social beings. But nature came first. We consult chapter 20 of the <em>Tao Te Ching </em>and Master Gu tells more about what this 2,500-year-old classic is and is not. Plus: tips for becoming an immortal! This time we'd like to thank the singing cicadas for providing the musical backdrop. Find Master Gu at <a href="https://www.taoistwellness.com/">www.taoistwellness.com</a>.</p>

5. Evening the Heart
<p>Back from a short break! Now that we know all about the 心 xīn, heart & mind, in this episode Master Gu and Eli talk about how to make—and keep—that 心 xīn 平 píng: even. Balanced. Steady. Why? Because many physical ailments start with an uneven heart. And because the more hearts are even, the closer we come to world peace. 心平，气和, <em>xīn píng, qì hé</em>: heart even, Qi harmonious. Master Gu explains how to meditate and why it does not have to be a scary, hard thing. Instead, practising tranquility can be joyful. We start with Chapter 16 of the <em>Tao Te Ching</em>, the text of which is included in the transcription. And we end with a short meditation in which you can take part.
