Prince of Chao had a boundless passion for the chariot race. He had for years been taking lessons with his coachman, who was a renowned master. But whenever the prince ran against it, he came last, even if he had taken his team to the best horses of his stables. One day he was again beaten before all his assembled court, the Lord came down furious from his chariot and said to his coachman
- I've offered brocade gowns, gems, jades of inestimable value in exchange for your services. But you, ungrateful, you have not yet learned all your secrets!
- Sir, just can not buy. I can sell you the Tao of horses.
- What do you mean?
- A good check is to empty the mind to unite with the breath of his horses. When you're ahead, you're afraid that I will ahead. When you're behind me, you think only overtake. Your mind is always focused on me. How do you then become one with your horse, be in harmony with the Tao?
