The Tao-Te-Ching -- the unfolding of life -- is a book to read
again and again. Lao-Tzu's timeless work is of value to everyone,
regardless of personal beliefs, traditions, and religious
practices. It poetically encapsulates the primordial wisdom of
another time, when the Sage was able to live a contemplative life,
unencumbered by complex rites or the cares of the world. It is a
guide that shows us how yielding leads to transformation; it
reveals the highest manifestation of life, forever seeking its
highest expression.
Originally translated into French by Leon Wieger, the 1913
edition was published as Les Peres du Systeme Taoiste. Wieger was
recognized by the great Orientalist, Ananda Coomaraswamy, as one of
the "handful" of Western Orientalists who truly understood Chinese
philosophy. Derek Bryce now brings Wieger's French into English.
His translation demonstrates a conscious commitment to both the
original Chinese text and the profound insights of Wieger's work.
To this edition, Bryce adds summaries of the writings attributed to
three other Taoists -- Huai-Nan-Tzu, Kuan-Yin-Tzu, and
Tung-Ku-Ching -- from Wieger's Histoire des Croyances et des
Opinions Philosophiques en Chine (1917). The Wieger-Bryce
translation offers the reader new insights into the eternal wisdom
of the Tao-Te-Ching.
