Lao Tzu - Tao Te Ching

Buy This Poster: Mantis Design

This 2,500 year-old manuscript is mentioned in two of my favorite books:

  • Pirsig, R (1974). Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance.
  • Nepo, M. (2000). Awakening: Having the life you want by being present to the life you have.
Read the traditional wisdom so eloquently expressed in this ancient manuscript, and you will understand why it has endured the test of time. 

I am almost embarrassed that it took me 50 years to find and read this powerful text, and grateful to the authors and caretakers for the hours that went into copying, translating, illustrating, and adding supporting documentation at the website which made it accessible to me.
