Description

The Tao Te Ching is one of the world's oldest and most profound pieces of literature. Written around 2,500 years ago by the enigmatic Lao Tzu, its wisdom is timeless and its message just as relevant today. The text, presented here with commentary on all 81 chapters, is both subtle and illuminating. Lao Tzu explores the workings of the cosmos and the natural world, reflecting on the origin and essential nature of mankind. He offers us a better way of living: one that's free of stress, conflict and the perpetual craving and striving that characterises so much of modern life. The Tao Te Ching urges us to live in harmony with the natural flow of life. Tao literally means 'the way', and throughout the text Lao Tzu draws parallels between the Tao and the effortless flow of nature. As one verse states: "I drift like a wave on the ocean. I blow as aimless as the wind." More than just poetic words; they encapsulate the art of living the Tao. When we align ourselves with the flow of life, we relax, let go and find ourselves living with ease, effortlessness, grace and humility.
