Laozi 老子 and Lao Tzu
(4,743 Sterne; 179 Bewertungen)
The classic of the Way and of High Virtue is the Tao Teh Ching. Its author is generally held as a contemporary of Confucius, Lao Tzu, or Laozi. The exact date of the book's origin is disputed. The book is divided into two parts, the Upper Part and the Lower Part. The Upper Part consists of chapters 1-37, and each chapter begins with the word "Tao," or the Way. The Lower Part consists of chapters 38-81, and each chapter begins with the words "Shang Teh," or High Virtue. This 1919 edition names the Lower Part as the Wu Wei, or translated variously as "not doing," "non-ado," or "non-assertion." This edition also contains a history of the book and its author, Lao Tzu, along with a discussion of the Wu Wei. Lao Tzu's classic has been cherished as suggestions, rather than commandments, for finding one's path to beauty, goodness, and quality of life through a non-assertive understanding of the Way.

The Best Book Ever
Ron Antoine Gooden
(5 Sterne)
This is more than a book. It is Tao. The stillness of the Void. The Infinity of the formless. The form of silence. It is the detachment of all things carnal. The profound simplicity. The Great Bliss beyond all temporal happiness. It is joy eternal, and everlasting reverence. Immortal fortitude and the liberation of solitude. It is the effortless thought of repose. The poise of selflessness and service born of Divine integrity. It is beyond Enlightenment. The Purity of Love, and even above it.
fantastic!
