Description

The Tao Te Ching, a more than two-thousand-year-old collection of eighty-one poems, offers timeless insight into how to live in harmony with oneself and the world. The central concept of the Tao Te Ching, wu wei (‮٥‬L،‮٠‬), literally meaning "inexertion," "inaction," or "effortless action," is presented as the means of achieving ziran (‮&[٥‬M), a state of "as-it-isness." The Tao Te Ching is one of the most treasured and widely translated works of all time, and one that has influenced art and literature the world over. This edition presents the time-honored translation by James Legge with his original notes to each chapter of the Tao Te Ching. Also included is the essay on early Chinese philosophy by renowned scholar and teacher Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki and a biographical note.

Author Biography:

Lao Tzu was an ancient Chinese philosopher, writer, and founder of philosophical Taoism. Historians believe he lived sometime between the sixth and fourth centuries BCE. JAMES LEGGE (1815-1897) was a Scottish linguist, missionary, sinologist, and translator. Legge represented the London Missionary Society in Malacca and Hong Kong (1840-1873) and was the first Professor of Chinese at Oxford University (1876-1897). In association with Max M�ller he prepared the monumental Sacred Books of the East series, published in fifty volumes between 1879 and 1891. Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki (1870-1966) was a Japanese-American Buddhist monk, essayist, philosopher, scholar, translator, and writer. His writings on Buddhism, Zen, and Shin were instrumental in spreading interest in Eastern philosophy to the West. Suzuki was also a prolific translator of Chinese, Japanese, and Sanskrit literature. He was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1963.
