Description
The poem known as the Tao Te Ching is composed of roughly 5,000 ancient Chinese characters arranged in archaic poetic form and rhyme scheme. It is the fundamental text of both philosophic and religious Taoism. Written during the "Spring and Autumn" Classical Period (700-480 BCE), this text is filled with both ancient wisdom and the simple but profound insight of a child. The Tao Te Ching stands as one of the world's most popular and inspiring works of great literature. This translation, which comes from the secret oral tradition of The T'ien-Shih (Celestial Masters), will take you on a journey into a Taoist heart and soul.
