This document discusses the Tao of Winnie the Pooh, comparing the teachings and philosophies of Taoism to the characters and stories in A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh books. It explains that Taoism focuses on finding balance, joy, and laughter in everyday life rather than worrying or being sad. The Pooh stories teach similar life lessons and principles of Taoism without directly mentioning it. Each character also represents aspects of Taoist philosophy through their personalities. The document aims to explain Taoism through Winnie the Pooh and vice versa. Scholars were initially skeptical of connecting the two but the author believes starting with one step and seeing where it leads is how a long journey

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

What Should be the Christian View of Anime?Joe Muraguri
We will learn what Anime is and see what a Christian should consider before watching anime movies? We will also learn a little bit of Shintoism religion and hentai (the craze of internet pornography today).

*Happiness is finding balance… in yourself
and nature.
*Finding joy and laughter in everyday
moments is the key.
*Let go of stress and worry and forget about
things that make you sad.
5. The Tao of Winnie the Pooh
If this sounds familiar, it’s because LAO’s
ideas are the same as another great
philosopher you know: Winnie the Pooh!
Some people argue that the Pooh stories
are actually stories to help people
understand Taoism and teach life lessons.
6. The Tao of Winnie the Pooh
Here are some quotes from Pooh that
match up perfectly with the teachings of

years before the birth of Jesus.
7. A clever mind is not a heart.
"Rabbit's clever," said Pooh
thoughtfully.
"Yes," said Piglet. "Rabbit's clever."
"And he has Brain."
"Yes," said Piglet, "Rabbit has Brain."
There was a long silence.
"I suppose," said Pooh, "that that's
why he never understands anything."
8. There is more to knowing than
just being correct.
"Lot's of people talk to animals," said
Pooh.
"Maybe, but..."
"Not very many listen, though," he
said.
"That's the problem," he added.
9. The wise know their limitations;
the foolish do not.
Roo and Tigger were walking along the forest one
morning, and Tigger was talking about all the things
that Tiggers can do....
"I can swim," said Roo. "I fell into the river, and I
swimmed. Can Tiggers swim?"
"Of course they can. Tiggers can do everything."
"Can they climb trees better than Pooh?" asked Roo,
stopping under the tallest Pine Tree, and looking up
at it.
"Climbing trees is what they do best," said Tigger.
"Much better than Poohs."
And the next thing they knew, they were stuck in the
tallest pine tree.

Taoism talks about keeping things natural, uncomplicated,
and simple... Just like our favorite bear.
Taoism says, “Don’t think or plan or do, just BE!”
"While Eeyore frets ...
... and Piglet hesitates
... and Rabbit calculates
... and Owl pontificates

• The Tao of Pooh
by: Benjamin Hoff
• "What's this you're writing?" asked Pooh, climbing onto the writing table. "The Tao of Pooh," I replied.
"The how of Pooh?" asked Pooh, smudging one of the words I had just written.
"The Tao of Pooh," I relpied, poking his paw away with my pencil.
"It seems more like the ow! of Pooh," said Pooh, rubbing his paw.
"Well, its not," I replied huffily.
"What's it about?" asked Pooh, leaning forward and smearing another word.
"It's about how to stay happy and calm under all circumstances!" I yelled.
"Have you read it?" asked Pooh.
• That was after some of us were discussing the Great Masters of Wisdom, and someone was saying how all of them came from
the East, and I was saying that some of them didn't, but he was going on and on, just like this sentence, not paying any
attention, when I decided to read a quotation of Wisdom from the West, to prove that there was more to the world than one half,
and I read:
• "When you first wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?"
"What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"
"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet.
Pooh nodded thoughtfully.
"It's the same thing," he said.
• "What's that?" the Unbeliever asked.
"Wisdom from a Western Taoist," I said.
"It sounds like something from Winnie-the-Pooh," he said.
"It is," I said.
"That's not about Taoism," he said.
"Oh, yes it is," I said.
"No, it's not," he said.
"What do you think it's about?" I said.
"Its about this dumpy little bear that wanders around asking silly questions, making up songs, and going through all kinds of
adventures, without ever accumulating any amount of intellectual knowledge or losing his simpleminded sort of happiness.
That's what it's about," he said.
"Same thing," I said.
• That was when I began to get an idea: to write a book that explained the principles of Taoism through Winnie-the-Pooh, and
explained Winnie-the-Pooh through the principles of Taoism.
• When informed of my intentions, the scholars exclaimed, "Preposterous!" and things like that. Others said it was the stupidest
thing they'd ever heard, and that I must be dreaming. Some said it was a nice idea, but too difficult. "Just where would you even
begin?" they asked. Well, and old Taoist saying puts it this way: "A thousand-mile journey starts with one step."
• So I think that we will start in the beginning...
