Here you will find some selections from Chuang Tzu's Miscellaneous Chapters. Several anecdotal stories relate Chuang-tzu's relationship with Hui-tzu, a master who belonged to the School of Logic. Although they were good friends and excellently matched opponents in philosophic dispute, Chuang-tzu disliked logic and distrusted language, too often abused. The anecdotes are delightful "short" stories of dialogues between Master Chuang and Master Hui, and give us a lively image of Chuang-tzu's technique of argument.

As you sit back and enjoy these works, engulf yourself in the mystical transcendence and freedom in which Chuang Tzu writes.
