The Tao of Pooh and the Te of Piglet

Description

By: Benjamin Hoff

“Pooh has a certain way of doing things which, as Benjamin Hoff brilliantly demonstrates, seems strangely close to the ancient principles of Taoist philosophy. Taoism emphasises living in harmony with the Tao, the way of the universe, just as Pooh lives in harmony with his surroundings in the Hundred Acre Wood. As for Piglet, the Te (a Chinese word meaning virtue) of the Small, is a principle perfectly embodied in this Very Small Animal.”
