The Book of the Way and Grace (Tao Te Ching)

The famous treatise by the great ancient Chinese philosopher-mystic Laozi, “Dao De Jing” (“The Book of the Way and Grace”), is one of the most enigmatic works in world philosophical thought. This book is simple, yet profound in content. In terms of the number of translations into other languages, it ranks only behind the Bible. It contains ancient wisdom and returns the reader to those times when a person was closer to the truth. Interest in the book is understandable: written in poetic and comparatively accessible language, it sets out the foundations of one of the main “three teachings” of traditional China—Daoism—which attracts many people around the world.
