One of his quotes from Tao Te Ching is "the world is won by those who let it go"

His legend is quite fascinating,

According to what I read online
The Royal Archivist: According to the Han Dynasty historian Sima Qian, Lao Tzu was originally named Li Er and served as the Keeper of the Imperial Archives for the royal court of the Zhou Dynasty. This position gave him access to vast amounts of ancient knowledge.

Meeting Confucius: Legend holds that he was an older contemporary of Confucius, who supposedly sought Lao Tzu’s counsel on ceremonies and rituals.

Departing the World: Tired of the growing corruption within the court, Lao Tzu decided to leave society and head into the wilderness.

The Water Buffalo: As the story goes, he rode a water buffalo toward the western borders of the empire. At the Han Gu Pass, a border guard recognized the wise man and asked him to write down his teachings before passing into the unknown.

The Tao Te Ching: In response, the philosopher penned a short, profound text the Tao Te Ching (The Book of the Way and Its Virtue) and subsequently vanished from history.

I found Lao Tzu’s story to be quiet enlightening, apparently it’s the back bone of Taoism, if you do wanna read the Tao Te Ching, I’d recommend to read the oldest version found (as their have been likely many additions to the text) and also the translation be by a proper source theirs many inaccurate translations apparently.

What I learned from the story of Lao Tzu whether he was real or a legend is for me to work towards harmony in every respect.

Is Lao Tzu simply asking us to join with the Harmony of nature?

I’m a male, I have excessive nocturnal emissions, like 3-4 per week, so like 3 or 4 nights atleast 1 emissions. and it’s really draining me. sometimes without any dream, but even if their is a dream it’s really short.

I even get semen in my urine sometimes. I saw in TCM they’re is medicine targeted at helping hold the essence and prevent this leaking, that would help me a lot and get me out the cycle of getting weaker and weaker with every nightly emission.

I’m going to try

• Jin Suo Gu Jing Wan

im surprised how well it fits my symptoms and issues, I hope it works, any recommendations on whether I should take pills or granules or some other way? I hope its not too expensive online and these markets aren’t over pricing the medicine cause it’s “traditional” or something.
