The Tao Te Ching ~ The Book of the Way ~ Lao Tzu

The Tao Te Ching ~ The Book of the Way ~ Lao Tzu

A reading for meditation of selected verses from the The Tao Te Ching - translation by Tolbert McCarrollThe Tao Te Ching or Dào Dé Jīng, ('Classic of the Way and its Virtue'), is an ancient Chinese classic text, becoming a foundational work of Taoism. It is traditionally credited to the sage Lao Tzu, though with some several early versions recovered, the texts' authorship and dates of composition and compilation are debated. The oldest excavated portion dates to the late 4th century BCE. While tradition places Laozi earlier, modern versions of the text could more conservatively be estimated to date back to the late Warring States period (475 – 221 BCE), not having been recovered that early.The Tao Te Ching is central to both philosophical and religious Taoism, and has been highly influential on Chinese philosophy and religious practice in general.
