Synopsis:
This edition translated by John Wu is complemented by the Chinese text on facing pages. Written more than two thousand years ago, the "Classic of the Way and its Virtue" has probably had a greater influence on Asian thought than any other single book. It is also one of the true classics of world spiritual literature.
Traditionally attributed to the near-legendary "Old Master" Lao Tzu, the work 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 Wu has done a remarkable job of rendering this subtle text into English while retaining the freshness and depth of the original.
"No better choice of translator could have been made than Dr John C H Wu, whose rendering is superb. More than this, Dr Wu is one who is able to translate Lao Tzu not only in his words but in his life" Thomas Merton. |
