The timeless wisdom of this classic Taoist text can become a
companion on your own spiritual journey.
The Chuang-tzu is the second major text of the Taoist tradition.
It was compiled in the third century BCE and follows the lead of
the best-known and oldest of all Taoist texts, the Tao-te-ching
(Book of the Tao and Its Potency). Representing the philosophy of
its main author, Chuang Chou, along with several other early Taoist
strands, the text has inspired spiritual seekers for over two
thousand years.
Using parable, anecdote, allegory and paradox, the Chuang-tzu
presents the central message of what was to become the Taoist
school: a reverence for the Tao the "Way" of the natural world and
the belief that you are not truly virtuous until you are free from
the burden of circumstance, personal attachments, tradition and the
desire to reform the world. In this special SkyLight Illuminations
edition, leading Taoist scholar Livia Kohn, PhD, provides a fresh,
modern translation of key selections from this timeless text to
open up classic Taoist beliefs and practices. She provides
insightful, accessible commentary that highlights the Chuang-tzu's
call to reject artificially imposed boundaries and distinctions,
and illustrates how you can live a more balanced, authentic and
joyful life at ease in perfect happiness by following Taoist
principles."
