Nine Rules for Living

  • Breathe well
  • Avoid clocks
  • Make sense
  • Keep in touch
  • Help things grow
  • Change the rules
  • Eschew needless information
  • Find the centre of the world
  • Engage the silence

Many scholars believe that The Nine Rules for Living were composed by Master Tze during his visit to the Shkumbini River in 1972. This is not the case. Master Tze would almost certainly endorse the points, however, if he could be induced to pay attention to them for long enough.
