Book Reviews of Tao Te Ching: A New English Version (Perennial Classics)
Book Review: What a Blessing.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best books I've ever read. It's so universal and it really hits home. I've been on a spiritual journey for a while now and a friend of mine mentioned Taoism and the Tao Te Ching. It is such a blessing to read this beautiful piece of work and very enlightening. I'm so glad I found the Tao, or the Way. Being an Episcopalian I never would have to thought to look at Christianity like this. Even though I know this was all written before Christianity and that Taoism is considerably older than Christianity, and the Bible, it has really helped me put things into perspective. It's also very comforting to read and is nice to KNOW that we are all one with the Tao if we open ourselves to it. But we are one with it!
Taken from chapter 23:
If you open yourself to the Tao,
you are at one with the Tao
and you can embody it completely.
If you open yourself to insight,
you are at one with insight
and you can use it completely.
If you open yourself to loss,
you are at one with loss
and you can accept it completely.
Open yourself to the Tao,
then trust your natural responses;
and everything will fall into place.
Summary of Tao Te Ching: A New English Version (Perennial Classics)
In eighty-one brief chapters, 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.
Stephen Mitchell's bestselling version has been widely acclaimed as a gift to contemporary culture.
