Taoism

In his 80th year, the great sage Lao-Tzu made a difficult journey to the western gate of China. He was disillusioned that others were unwilling to learn his path to natural goodness and harmony with nature. A border guard asked the old man to write down his wisdom. The result was the Tao Te Ching, which remains China's most enduring sacred text. Now, over 2,000 years later, one of the West's leading authorities on the Tao introduces you to this effortless philosophy for living on Taoism: Essential Teachings of the Way and Its Power. In easy-to-follow language, Ken Cohen reveals Lao-Tzu's vast spiritual legacy, from its historical origins to the prayers, rituals, and meditations that make it a vibrant philosophy for living in the modern world.
