Description

The bestselling, widely acclaimed translation from Stephen Mitchell

"Mitchell's rendition of the Tao Te Ching comes as close to being definitive for our time as any I can imagine. It embodies the virtues its translator credits to the Chinese original: a gemlike lucidity that is radiant with humor, grace, largeheartedness, and deep wisdom." -- Huston Smith, author of The Religions of Man

In eighty-one brief chapters, this classic of ancient Chinese wisdom, Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, provides advice that imparts balance and perspective, a serene and generous spirit, and teaches us how to work for the good with the effortless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao -- the basic principle of the universe.

This spiritual classic offers a profound guide to the art of living:

• Ancient Wisdom: Discover teachings that have offered clarity and peace for centuries, presented in eighty-one brief, poetic chapters.

• The Art of Non-Action: Learn the principle of wei wu wei, or "doing not-doing," to achieve more with effortless skill and grace.

• Finding Balance: Explore profound advice on achieving a serene and generous spirit by living in harmony with the Tao.

• Spiritual Serenity: A path to emptying the mind of distractions and filling your core with a sense of your original, peaceful identity.
