The Tao Te Ching. 81 Verses by Lao Tzu with Introduction and Commentary

A brilliant, beautifully presented translation of the Taoist 'way of integrity'-Lao Tzu's classic text and sublimely spiritual teachings on how to live with goodness and integrity.   Taosim 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. The Taoist follows the path of non-action (Wu Wei), flowing with the constantly changing stream of life, and trying to live in universal harmony and balance.
  The easily assimilated aphorisms in this great book are a continuous source of spiritual guidance and nourishment, and its insights on statesmanship are practical guides for our own time. Ralph Alan Dale's brilliant translation uniquely captures, as never before, the essential meaning of this profound text, and makes it entirely relevant to today's readers.
