[ancient Chinese Philosophy] Tao Te Ching By Lao Tsu

1 post in this topic

Read this, preferably several translations.  At least 4 different translations.  There is a lot of wisdom here if you really want to be a sage.  Probably the most important thing to read for the advanced personal development student.  The super-advanced personal development student.

I'll share a little story here that I heard.  Lao Tsu was on the run trying to get into India and he was stopped by the border guards on the China side, and they said -- Lao, our friend, please, leave us with something to keep from you as you are leaving us.  So, Lao Tsu, puzzled by this, scribbled down the Tao Te Ching to expedite his passage out of China.  So, that's what the Tao Te Ching is.  Lao Tsu being forced to craft the infinite in a minute.  But even then -- it is incredible!

The modern way of writing Lao Tsu is Laozi.

Leo.  This is where advanced personal development starts.  Watch.
