"Don't call me a follower of Tao."   

"Following Tao is an intensely personal endeavor in which you spend each minute of your life with the universal pulse.  You follow the fluid and infinitely shifting Tao and experience its myriad wonders.  You will want nothing more than to be empty before it - a perfect mirror, open to every nuance.

"If you put labels on who you are, there is separation from Tao.  As soon as you accept the designations of race, gender name, or fellowship, you define yourself in contrast to Tao. 

"That is why those who follow Tao never identify themselves with the name Tao.  They do not care for labels, for status, or for rank.  We all have an equal chance to be with Tao.

"Reject labels.
Reject identities.
Reject conformity.
Reject convention.
Reject definitions.
Reject names."

- Deng Ming-Dao, 365 Tao
