THE TAO TE CHING Lao Tzu, translated by Ralph Alan Dale
The Tao Te Ching is a sublimely poetic spiritual teaching by the legendary Chinese sage, Lao Tzu. It affirms that each human being is a reflection of the whole universe, a microcosm within the macrocosm, and that all of us live under the same cosmic laws of the Tao. It invites us to follow the path of Wu Wei: flowing with the constantly changing stream of life, and trying to live in universal harmony and balance. The easily assimilated aphorisms of this great book are a continuous source of spiritual guidance and nourishment, and its insights on statesmanship are practical guides for our own time. Alongside the text, Ralph Alan Dale provides an insightful commentary, making this a wonderful book to draw on for inspiration at odd moments during the day.
