Lao Tzu

@SankarBasu8 @coolmesser That is true. Translation is also an issue. Typically verse 11, Tao Te Ching, is translated into English as “bowl” or “vessel”. It says something like: A bowl is shaped from clay, but it is the bowl’s emptiness that makes it useful.” Most recognize this concept as Lao Tzu.
