Question: Regarding the initial cause of the three realms and the primordial beginning of the four modes of birth, none can fathom their root and branch, nor distinguish their origin. Zhuangzi and Laozi designated it as "spontaneity" (ziran); the Duke of Zhou and Confucius termed it "chaos" (hundun). How does one point to their initial place of arising?
