The P’u (pronounced “Pooh”) of Taoism       Rev. Ernie Mills

In Taoism “P’u” refers to the un-carved block, or what we might call the state of Innocence, before the sculptor’s chisel is applied. It is the natural state of what is believed by Taoists to be pure. We, in the West, often refer to P’u as being the child in us, much like the character Pooh, in the book, Winnie the Pooh. We will explore this concept and perhaps discover – or rediscover it in our own lives.
