These parables are written from the words of Lao Tse and relate how
He learnt from Great Huang Di. The steps of the spiritual Path that
permit to cognize Tao and Te are described here in parable style.
The Tao Te Ching is one of China's ancient books of wisdom. This
translation accurately reflects the original Chinese, so readers
can learn what the Tao Te Ching really says. Beautiful black and
white photographs of nature illustrate this book throughout.
Lao Tzu, who lived in China approximately 2600 years ago, tells us
to seek that natural nameless state where there is peace and
harmony. This book explores the way of Lao Tzu: the destination
that Lao Tzu tells us to seek; the directions that Lao Tzu offers
to help us to reach the destination; the problems that Lao Tzu
tells us we will encounter trying to reach the destination; and
finally the strategies that Lao Tzu offers to help us to overcome
these problems and to successfully follow his directions. This book
is part of the series 'Ways of the World' in which the ways of the
founders of various religions and philosophies are explored. Each
book follows the same format, exploring: the destination that we
are told to seek; the directions offered to help us to reach that
destination; problems that we are told will hinder us on our way;
and finally strategies that are offered to help us to overcome
these problems and to successfully follow the directions. This
format not only helps to better understand the way, but also makes
it easier to compare the various ways.

Tao Te Ching: The Ageless Book of Wisdom for Readers of All Ages
brings the teachings of the legendary Taoist master, Lao-Tzu, to a
wider, if not necessarily younger audience. In a departure from
most other attempts, the book employs prose, rather than the poetic
verse of the original manuscript. With brevity and clarity Villano
captures Lao-Tzu's principal lessons: clues for welcoming the Tao
into our lives, and for constructing a world of societal balance
and harmony. Villano's prose is simple and breezy - a less-is-more
literary style that appeals to younger readers and yet somehow
seems enduringly consistent with Taoist philosophy.
