Publisher's Synopsis
The Holy Book of Modern Taoism is referred to by some as the New Testament for followers of Taoism. For twenty five centuries the fundamentals of Taoism have laid virtually unexplored by Western minds. Despite centuries of new thought regarding the original teachings of Lao Tsu, no formal additions to his doctrine have been made until now, with the new verses written by Lao Xue. Those new to Taoism will find that it is the most natural, most inclusive, least judgmental religion in the history of mankind. Devoid of mysticism, yet full of contemplative riddle, the reader may find that this is a religious doctrine that actually works in today's world to bring about social justice and release people from guilt and the irrational fear of death.
