Te Tao Ching by : Tao Tzu
Posted by Samiha Mohy Eddin on June 12th, 2008
In ancient China, the keeper of the Imperial Library, Lao Tzu, was
famous for his wisdom. Perceiving the growing corruption of the
government, he left for the countryside. On his way, the guard at the
city gates asked Lao Tzu to write out the essence of his understanding
to benefit future generations. Lao Tzu wrote the Tao Te Ching, left, and
was never heard of again.
The Tao Te Ching (also called “The Tao”, “The Dao” or the “Dao De
Jing”), by Lao Tzu, is one of the most influential books in history. It is
the source of famous Chinese sayings such as “Those who know do not
speak, those who speak, do not know” and “Even a 1,000 mile journey
starts with a single step“.
