Description Tao Te Ching presents the way (Tao) of virtue (Te) in classical Chinese philosophy (Ching). This classic way of virtue is a power for living within principles found throughout nature and all of existence. Abiding in this way brings balance to materially-driven living. It adds Yin to the Yang of modernity. It is the way of sages and saints through all ages. Although impossible in actual practice, an attempt has been made to minimize interpretation while striving for direct translation. The source material is generally attribute to Lao Tzu as presented by Wang Bi. Fortunately, there is no one definitive presentation of Tao Te Ching. In this volume, punctuation is minimized so that the reader may play with multiple ways of phrasing. The resulting ambiguity can become a rich source for a variety of insights. It is antithetical to the Tao to analyze it, or to apply scholarship to it. No context need be applied; the Tao is its own context. If portions of the text seem to make little sense, remember that nothing in life makes complete sense. Just move slowly through it. Abide in it. Internalize it little by little. Try living it. Enjoy it.
