i'm planning to learn sanskrit so I don't want to spoil the fun of those books just yet, that's why I'm asking about daoism

So, you desire to eliminate desire.

Do I have this right?

among other things yes

why not just satiate your desires instead of quitting like a little bitch

Daoism doesn't advocate the elimination of desire.

Everything has its place in the Dao, desire and suffering included.

You're thinking of Buddhism.

>>7459692
yes my interest in daoism is edgy

is modern /lit/ so trash you people can't even recommend me whether to get the mitchell or the zhengkun tao te ching?
>>
>>7459700
really? welp that's what i get for listening to my friends. guess i'll read the dhammapada.
>>
>>7459700
Don't listen to this guy, OP.

Read the Tao Te Ching. There is a lot in there about eliminating desire.

>is modern /lit/ so trash you people can't even recommend me whether to get the mitchell or the zhengkun tao te ching?

Things have really gone downhill, here. You're better off asking /his/ if you want serious answers.

[I recommend the Jonathan Star translate. It's pricey but superior.]
