…an introduction

 

"Last night I dreamed I was a butterfly.

How do I know that I am not a butterfly now dreaming I'm a man?"

"Once Zhuangzi dreamt he was a butterfly, a butterfly flitting and fluttering around, happy with himself and doing as he pleased. He didn't know he was Zhuangzi. Suddenly he woke up and there he was, solid and unmistakable Zhuangzi. But he didn't know if he was Zhuangzi who had dreamt he was a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming he was Zhuangzi. Between Zhuangzi and a butterfly there must be some distinction! This is called the Transformation of Things." -- (2, tr. Burton Watson 1968:49)

[From The Taoist book "Zhuangzi dreamed he was a butterfly" (莊周夢蝶 Zhuāng Zhōu mèng dié) -- Wikipedia]

莊子
Zhuangzi (Chuang Tzu)
(4th Century B.C./B.C.E.)

"Zhuangzi's philosophy was very influential in the development of Chinese Buddhism, especially Chán (also known as Zen)."
