The wisdom of Confucius, China's greatest teacher and sage, can
guide each of us in our own time.
Twenty-six centuries after their origination, the principles
laid down in the Analects of Confucius still act as the foundation
of Chinese philosophy, ethics, society and government, and play a
formative role in the development of many Eastern philosophies. In
this intriguing look at the ethical and spiritual meaning of the
Analects, Rodney L. Taylor, the foremost American researcher of
Confucius as a religious and spiritual figure, explains their
profound and universal wisdom for our own time. He shows how
Confucius advocates learning and self-cultivation to follow the
"path of the sage" or Way of Heaven a journey that promises to
promote reason, peace and understanding.
Alongside an updated version of the classic translation by
Sinologist James Legge, Taylor provides informative and accessible
commentary that illuminates the meaning behind selected passages
from the Analects and their insights on character development,
respect and reverence, and the nature of learning, goodness,
truthfulness and righteousness."

'The Tao that can be trodden is not the enduring and Unchanging
Tao. The name that can be named is not the enduring and unchanging
name.' So begins one of the most important spiritual books on the
planet. The Tao Te Ching, the second most translated book in the
world, was written by the father of Taoism, Lao Tzu. It contains a
series of maxims, sayings, or truths, which are best absorbed
slowly, over a period of time. Anyone with an interest in personal
or spiritual growth should own a copy of this book. Its worth is
immense.
