Description

VIII 2. "The homeland of nothing whatsoever" is another expression from the Taoist classic Chuang-tzu.
It appears at the end of the first chapter, "Freedom," after which this section of the Golden Flower text is named:
in the ancient dassic, the philosopher Chuang-tzu says, "Now you have a huge tree and worry that it is useless.
Why don't you plant it in the vast plain of the homeland of Nothing Whatsoever, roaming in effortlessness by its side and sleeping in freedom beneath it?
The reason it does not full to the axe, and no one injures it, is that it' cannot be used. So what's the trouble?"
