Tao Te Ching (4th Century BCE)
()
About this audiobook
Tao Te Ching" is a foundational text of Taoism, attributed to the legendary sage Laozi. This ancient Chinese classic presents profound insights into the nature of existence, the principles of harmony, and the path to living in accordance with the Tao, or the Way.
Composed of 81 short chapters, "Tao Te Ching" offers poetic and enigmatic verses that invite deep contemplation. Laozi emphasizes the concept of Wu Wei (non-action), advocating for naturalness, simplicity, and alignment with the flow of the universe. The text delves into themes of humility, spontaneity, and the balance between opposites, such as yin and yang.
Lionel Giles' translation, first published in 1904, brings the essence of Laozi's teachings to English-speaking readers, preserving the cryptic beauty and philosophical richness of the original text. "Tao Te Ching" continues to inspire seekers of wisdom and seekers of spiritual enlightenment across cultures and generations.
Laozi
Laozi was a Chinese philosopher and author commonly understood to have lived in the 6th century BC, although the time of his life is much disputed, and he has become as much a legend as a historical figure. Traditionally credited as the author of The Book of Tao, also known as The Tao Te Ching and The Tao and Its Characteristics, he is regarded as the father of Taoism and one of the most universally influential figures in Chinese culture.
