Review
“No better choice of translator could have been made for the Tao Teh Ching than Dr. John C. H. Wu, whose rendering is superb. Absolutely necessary for us not only to progress but even to survive.”—Thomas Merton
Product Description
Written more than two thousand years ago, the Tao Teh Ching, or “The Classic of the Way and Its Virtue,” is one of the true classics of the world of spiritual literature. Traditionally attributed to the near-legendary “Old Master,” Lao Tzu, the Tao Teh Ching teaches that the qualities of the enlightened sage or ideal ruler are identical with those of the perfected individual. Today, Lao Tzu’s words are as useful in mastering the arts of leadership in business and politics as they are in developing a sense of balance and harmony in everyday life. To follow the Tao or Way of all things and realize their true nature is to embody humility, spontaneity, and generosity.
John C. H. Wu has done a remarkable job of rendering this subtle text into English while retaining the freshness and depth of the original. A jurist and scholar, Dr. Wu was a recognized authority on Taoism and the translator of several Taoist and Zen texts and of Chinese poetry.

5 Stars!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tao Te Ching (Hardcover)
It's one of those books you have to read slowly, and take in the words, and let them marinate! Allow the words to transform into feeling by applying them to your own life.

A continuing Inspiration,
By Rick Lonewolf (Salem, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tao Te Ching (Paperback)
When reading "Tao Teh Ching" I personally find a new message evry time. The most important lessons I got from the readings is learning when to be firm and when to yield and how to interpret Universal energies to direct my life. This book definately is must read for any person that has ever felt like the perverbial Salmon and not known why or how to get out of it. I recommend it to anyone that is in search of inner direction.

One of the Best,
By Linden (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tao Te Ching (Paperback)
The Tao Teh Ching is one of the best books ever written. It can be spiritual, or it can be secular. It can be philisophical, or it can be practical and earthy. As a Taoist, I can tell you that this is one of the best translations available.
