"No one has done better in conveying Lao Tsu's simple and laconic
style of writing, so as to produce an English version almost as
suggestive of the many meanings intended. This is a most useful, as
well as beautiful, volume--and what it has to say is exactly what
the world, in its present state, needs to hear." - Alan Watts
RELIGION/ EASTERN STUDIES
The "Tao Te Ching, " the esoteric but infinitely practical book
written most probably in the sixth century B.C. by Lao Tsu, has
been translated more frequently than any work except the Bible.
This translation of the Chinese classic, which was first published
twenty-five years ago, has sold more copies than any of the others.
It offers the essence of each word makes Lao Tsu's teaching
immediate and alive.
The philosophy of Lao Tsu is simple: Accept what is in front of
you without wanting the situation to be other than it is. Study the
natural order of things and work with it rather than against it,
for to try to change what "is" only sets up resistance. Nature
provides for all without discrimination--therefore let us present
the same face to everyone and treat all men as equals, however they
may be have. If we watch carefully, we will see that work proceeds
more quickly and easily if we stop looking for results. In the
clarity of a still and open mind, truth will be reflected. We will
come to appreciate the original meaning of the word "understand,"
which means "to stand under." We serve whatever or whoever stands
before us, without any thought for ourselves. "Te--"which may be
translated as "virtue" or "strength"--lies always in "Tao," or
"natural law." In other words: Simply be.
