Lao Tse

Lao Tse dejó constancia escrita de su sabiduría en el Tao Te Ching, uno de los textos fundamentales del taoísmo, el movimiento espiritual y filosófico que desde hace más de dos mil años inunda toda la cultura oriental. Su contenido aúna belleza y sabiduría en una serie de aforismos breves, que, con aparente sencillez, conforman en realidad una de las obras más completas y exigentes que se hayan escrito. Dejarse llevar por su mensaje y capacidad sugestiva es la mejor manera de reflexionar, con serenidad, acerca de nosotros mismos.

Tao Te Ching

Hua-Hu-Ching

The seemingly simple and succinct aphorisms in Tao Te Ching convey deep universal truths. This essential work in the history of ideas is an invitation for readers to serenely reflect on their own selves and their place in the world.

Laozi

La 4e de couverture indique : "Malgré son contenu très bref, le Tao-tê-king, attribué par la tradition au philosophe Lao-tzeu, a joué un rôle particulièrement important dans l'histoire de la civilisation chinoise. Dès le IVe et le IIIe siècle avant J.-C., son influence était considérable. La prodigieuse fortune de Tao-tê-king a été due en partie à sa forme littéraire, et singulièrement au fait qu'il abonde en aphorisme et en paradoxes susceptibles d'être pris soit à la lettre, soit au sens figuré. D'où la possibilité pour les philosophes des écoles les plus diverses de se réclamer du Tao-tê-king ; d'où, aussi, le nombre étonnant de proverbes courants qui sont tirés de ce livre."

La voie et sa vertu

Eric Starker

Lao Tse didn't spread a doctrine. All times there have been thinkers able to raise their vision beyond the phenomenon of human life to the eternal meaning of the cosmic process, whose greatness defy conceptualization. Tao wants to find peace in it and the resulting relief of de-emphasizing the seriousness of life, one that lacks essential intrinsic value.

Tao Te King

The Tao Teh King (Tao Te Ching) forms the fundamental core of modern Taoist philosophy and has informed the beliefs and mode of life of the people of China for 2500 years. For all those who seek peace, contentment, harmony and balance in life, the Tao Teh King is an indispensable resource. Lao Tse's words speak directly to the heart with simple, direct and profound wisdom addressing the core principles of the art of living well. The translation and commentary presented here was completed between 1921 and 1923 and serialized in the periodical magazine The Theosophical Quarterly. The society responsible for the periodical was dissolved some fifteen years later, leaving this translation to lay dormant these many years. It is reproduced verbatim, but with an adjustment in formatting-providing the translation itself, in whole, prior to the commentary-the addition of a foreword, and of additional notes. Charles Johnston's article on the Religion of China, reproduced in this volume, demonstrates the depth of his understanding not only of Ancient China and its religious life, but of its place in the larger context of human religious thought. This wider contextual grasp lends itself to a much more expansive commentary upon the Tao Teh King than we commonly find, as Johnston is able to draw many parallels to other world-teachings, some of which the student may be more intimately familiar.

James Legge

Tao Te Ching is a classic Chinese text, probably from around the 6th century BC. While the authorship is still debated, most of the text is attributed to Lao-Tzu ("Old Master"), who was a court record keeper during the Zhou Dynasty. The text is considered an essential element of Taoist philosophy as well as having significant influences on Chinese religions, including Buddhism. This is a classic translation of the book by James Legge. Visit www.ArcManor.com for other, similar books.

Tao Te Ching - The Tao and Its Characteristics

The Book of Tao

The Tao Te Ching ([tâu tɤ̌ tɕíŋ] (About this soundlisten)), also known by its pinyin romanization Dao De Jing, [a] is a Chinese classic text traditionally credited to the 6th-century BC sage Laozi. The text's authorship, date of composition and date of compilation are debated.[5] The oldest excavated portion dates back to the late 4th century BC, [6] but modern scholarship dates other parts of the text as having been written-or at least compiled-later than the earliest portions of the Zhuangzi.[7] The Tao Te Ching, along with the Zhuangzi, is a fundamental text for both philosophical and religious Taoism. It also strongly influenced other schools of Chinese philosophy and religion, including Legalism, Confucianism, and Buddhism, which was largely interpreted through the use of Taoist words and concepts when it was originally introduced to China. Many Chinese artists, including poets, painters, calligraphers, and gardeners, have used the Tao Te Ching as a source of inspiration. Its influence has spread widely outside East Asia and it is among the most translated works in world literatur
