Description

Discover the timeless wisdom of Lao Tzu's spiritual masterpiece, the source of Zen Buddhism. Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching is arguably the most influential spiritual text in human history. This complete and unabridged edition is part of the Macmillan Collector's Library, a series of stunning, cloth-bound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. Translated and introduced by acclaimed poet David Hinton, who is fluent in ancient Chinese, this edition skilfully reveals the innovative and enduring nature of the text, even after 2500 years. According to legend, Lao Tzu left China at the age of eighty, saddened that people would not follow the path to natural goodness. At the Tibetan border, a guard asked him to record his teachings, resulting in the Tao Te Ching . Lao Tzu's spirituality describes the Cosmos as a harmonious and generative organism, with the human as an integral part. This exquisite gift edition is perfect for any book lover or those interested in ancient Chinese philosophy and the foundations of Zen Buddhism.
