What Does “道” Mean?

 

 

道 is the Chinese character meaning The Tao. It also means The Way Of  or The Path. We have chosen to include 道 as part of our name for Vibrantly because it represents a part of our name that is not readily spoken out loud. This meaning is special because as the Tao Te Jing says, ‘The Tao that is spoken cannot truly be the tao.’

Thus, there is a living essence or quality to 道Vibrantly that cannot be shared out loud, it can only be experienced. This helps remind us to stay with the present moment experience of the now and supports us in striving to live from the center of the wheel.
