26  The Experience of Dao-De
   
As a result of adopting a positive attitude to Dao-De, one would undergo a highly enlightened experience and change of mentality which is uniquely distinct from and well transcends any practical or empirical types. This kind of experience and mentality feature above all simplicity, tranquility, genuineness, modesty, adaptability, open-mindedness, persistency, etc., which in turn represent the fundamental aspects of the ideal personality Lao Zi advocates. A scrutiny of chapters 15 and 20 (DDJ) will offer some insights into this subject.
