Chuang Tzu

Zhuangzi

⏱ 8 minWisdom classic

Taoism's laughing sage — the man who woke unsure whether he was Chuang Chou dreaming he was a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming he was a man. Through a soaring bird, a dancing cook, and a tortoise happy in the mud, he dissolves logic and points past every word to the freedom of the Way.

Listen to the whole of Chuang Tzu in about 8 minutes — professionally narrated, with Apple-Music-style synced subtitles. One book free every day; Folio Premium unlocks the entire library.
