Tao Te Ching

 

Stephen Mitchell's translation of the Tao Te Ching is widely acclaimed and considered definitive for our time. It showcases the virtues praised in the original Chinese text, with its clear and humorous language, graceful tone, and profound wisdom. As Huston Smith, author of The Religions of Man, says, "Mitchell's rendition is a gem, radiating with lucidity, grace, and largeheartedness." In just eighty-one chapters, Lao-tzu's timeless advice teaches us to maintain balance and perspective, cultivate a generous spirit, and effortlessly work towards the greater good by aligning ourselves with the Tao, the fundamental principle of the universe.
