Tao Te Ching Illustrated
By Lao Tsu, transl. by Gia-fu Feng & Jane English. 432 pg., 8 1/4"
x 11" paperback. 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. The philosophy
of Lao Tsu is simple: accept what is in front of you without wanting the
situation to be other than it is. Te-which may be translated as "virtue"
or "strength"-lies always in Tao, or "natural law."
In other words: simply be. |
