Course overview
巽 (Xùn), one of the eight trigrams in the Yi Jing (I Ching), represents wind, symbolizing subtlety, adaptability, and the ability to penetrate through persistence.  

Its structure—two unbroken yang lines above a broken yin line (☴)—embodies the gentle yet persistent nature of wind, which can move unnoticed but shape the landscape over time. 

The wind adjusts to obstacles, finding paths around resistance rather than opposing it. This teaches us to adapt, listen, and remain open to new perspectives.
In addition to Dao talks, scriptural work, mystical study (玄学 xuan xue) and meditation, this year’s monthly Daoist training will focus on the Book of Changes (一经 Yi Jing).

The Yi Jing, or Book of Changes, is a revered Chinese divination text that offers wisdom bridging spiritual, philosophical, and practical realms through its eight symbolic trigrams. By exploring the teachings of the Yi Jing, seekers can harness ancient wisdom for personal growth, decision-making, and spiritual enrichment.

☴ 巽 (Xùn): The Gentle Power of Wind

巽 (Xùn), one of the eight trigrams in the Yi Jing (I Ching), represents wind, symbolizing subtlety, adaptability, and the ability to penetrate through persistence.

Its structure—two unbroken yang lines above a broken yin line (☴)—embodies the gentle yet persistent nature of wind, which can move unnoticed but shape the landscape over time.

Xùn also illustrates how gentleness (yin) serves as a foundation for strength (yang). This teaches that power need not be forceful to be effective; quiet, consistent influence often leads to the most profound changes. It encourages qualities such as diplomacy, patience, and communication, where subtle efforts yield significant results.

Like the wind that moves through trees or carries seeds to fertile ground, Xùn encourages growth through subtle, persistent effort. It teaches that great change can come from small, consistent actions and that influence is often most effective when applied gently.

It reflects the Daoist ideal of wu wei (effortless action), where progress is achieved not through force but through alignment with natural flows.

The wind adjusts to its environment, finding paths of least resistance while remaining effective in its influence.
