In this clarion translation of Laotzu's Tao Te Ching, first
published in 1919, Goddard brings the complexity and depth of the
ancient philosopher's poetry into the English language, his great
love for the topic overcoming the necessary shortcomings of
translation. There are three concepts that are essential to the Tao
Te Ching-Tao, Te, and Wu Wei-that all have complex meanings that
cannot be directly translated, but spiritual seekers and those with
an interest in philosophy and religion will find Goddard's
treatment of Laotzu lyrical and deeply meaningful. American writer
DWIGHT GODDARD (1861-1939) studied at a monastery in Kyoto, Japan,
for a year and was among the first Westerners to bring Zen Buddhism
to the United States. His most famous book is The Buddhist Bible
(1938).
