"Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a dachshund [...] unaware that I was myself. Soon I awoke [...]. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a dachshund, or whether I am now a dachshund, dreaming I am a man."

– *not Zhuangzi (he was in fact a dachshund)

“Rather than using words to conceptualize, categorize, and artificially differentiate between right and wrong, benefit and harm, self and others, the Zhuangzi encourages attending to an undifferentiated whole.“

Foundations: ethics, parables, and fish,” Ch. 1, p. 20.

I feel bad for Hui Shi. Nowadays he's known as a pointless old logician, but the Stratagems show him as a total wideboy. You can see why Zhuangzi was so fond of him.

Every time I research more about Zhuangzi's Butterfly Dream, the Eight Consciousnesses of Buddism, and Dao/Taoism I find myself referring back to Kara no Kyoukai and end up falling more in love with the series and it's themes.

“So it is said, for him who understands Heavenly joy, life is the working of Heaven; death is the transformation of things. In stillness, he and the yin share a single Virtue; in motion, he and the yang share a single flow.”

“この世界の北の果て、波も冥い海に魚がいて、その名は鯤という。その鯤の大きさは、いったい何千里あるのか見当もつかないほどの、とてつもない大きさだ。 この巨大な鯤が転身の時を迎えると、姿を変えて鳥となる。その名は鵬という”

インドにおいては観念論的な思想であった仏教が、中国においては生活の中の実践哲学(禅)となっていったわけですが、その際に老荘思想が果たした役割は非常に大きい 🤔

Zhuangzi's poem "Dream Butterfly" reminds me a lot of the series Dream Butterfly. My theory says that The Butterfly is Rin's soul (due to symbolism) that carries Setsuna's conciouseness. If Kirinmaru is gone, so is the Butterfly, and in extension Rin.

Despite being a prolific writer, ZhuangZi is mostly known as an entomologist, for his work on butterflies.
