Publisher's Synopsis
Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, contains eighty-one brief chapters, full of timeless insights, encouraging balance, a wider perspective, and a calm spirit, it shines light on the Tao (the wordless way) and the natural flow of the universe. "When the student is ready the teacher will appear.""Those who know don't talk. Those who talk don't know. Close your mouth, block off your senses, blunt your sharpness, untie your knots, soften your glare, settle your dust. This is the primal identity. Be like the Tao. It can't be approached or withdrawn from, benefited or harmed, honored or brought into disgrace. It gives itself up continually. That is why it endures."
