The New Lao Tzu
By Ray Grigg. 187 pg., 6 1/2" x 9 1/4" hardback. Ray Grigg
transforms what has traditionally been called the Tao Te Ching, what he
calls the Lao Tzu, from the mysterious to the meaningful. He accomplishes
this by abandoning the historical convention of a literal reading of the
Chinese texts. The result is a poetic expression of ancient wisdom in a
language that readers can approach directly. The wisdom of the Lao Tzu rests
in its ability to tease confusion into insight that is beyond the confinement
of intellectual understanding. |
