TAO TE CHING, by LAO TSU...This translation of the Chinese classic, which was first published twenty-five years ago, has sold more copies than any of the others. It offers the essence that each word makes Lao Tsu's teaching immediate and alive.
The philosophy of Lao Tsu is simple:
Accept what is in front of you without wanting the situation to be other than it is.
Study the natural order of things and work with it rather than against it, for to try to change what is only sets up resistance.
Nature provides for all without discrimination—therefore let us present the same face to everyone and treat all men as equals, however they may be have.
"No one has done better in conveying Lao Tsu's simple and laconic style of writing, so as to produce an English version almost as suggestive of the many meanings intended. This is a most useful, as well as beautiful, volume—and what it has to say is exactly what the world, in its present state, needs to hear." - Reviewed by Alan Watts
