Synopsis

This ancient Chinese classic will put more balance and understanding into your life. The Tao Te Ching is a cornerstone of the world's wisdom literature. It is one of the most succinct yet profound spiritual texts ever written. Despite the simplicity of its message, it is one of the most influential Taoist texts. Divided into 81 short sections, the book contains insights into the "Way" of the natural world around us. The "Way" is Tao. Tao also means path, method, and other things. You will understand what Tao is through contemplation and reflection. The Tao Te Ching is traditionally attributed to a philosopher named Lao-tzu, but even his existence is debated. His name simply means "Old Master." Estimates of when it was composed range from the 3rd century to the 6th century BCE. Peter Frentzel (Daisen Ryotoku) brings the work to life in a concise way that is accessible for the modern reader. His insightful new interpretation presents the gist of the Tao Te Ching in simple language that is brief and clear. He elegantly conveys Lao-tzu's laconic style of writing.
