Reader:Yongping Ren

Yongping Ren, Untitled gay reinterpretation of Daodejing, Chapter One in Laozi, Dao de Jing, 500 BCE. English translation by Stephen Mitchell (1988).

The tao that can be toldis not the eternal Tao.The name that can be namedis not the eternal Name.The unnamable is the eternally real.Naming is the originof all particular things.Free from desire, you realize the mystery.Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.Yet mystery and manifestationsarise from the same source.This source is called darkness.Darkness within darkness.The gateway to all understanding.

Yongping is currently studying MFA at RMIT and co-directing Run Artist Run in Docklands, Melbourne.
