In an increasingly fast-paced and chaotic world, we can perhaps turn to ancient wisdom for guidance in finding inner harmony and balance. On 3rd February 2024, the New Acropolis Pune Branch hosted a talk titled “Confucius – Learning to Bring Balance”. Taking inspiration from the teachings of Confucius, philosopher and political theorist from China, the instructor shared some key practical ideas to learn about the idea of inner balance. The speaker emphasized the importance of developing inner balance which in turn will bring balance and harmony in the family and society.

Speaking about the concept of ‘Tao’ – which means ‘Way’ or ‘Path’ in Chinese traditions, the speaker pointed out that balance is perhaps an everyday process of realigning to the Tao.

With over 40 participants for the talk at the new branch location (close to St. Mira’s College in Koregaon Park), it was a fresh start to the year filled with many upcoming philosophical adventures.
