Tao Te Ching (Paperback)

The philosophy and teachings of Lao Tzu are said to have drawn many students and disciples who began following him. However, there are no records of Lao Tzu creating a formal school.The essence of Lao Tzu's teachings was the importance of seeking to live in harmony with the Tao. Lao Tzu implied that the Tao was beyond name and form and could never adequately expressed in words.The Tao Te Ching gives advice for a seeker to go beyond the limited ego, and gain a greater appreciation for the invisible power and force which underlies the universe. The Tao Te Ching is a classic of mystical philosophy. It challenges conventional wisdom and the earthly pursuit of wealth, power and success. By contrast, it encourages the qualities of humility, modesty and simplicity.
