The Complete TAO TE CHING in Plain English
by Stephen Lau
This book contains the 81 chapters of the translated text of the
ancient Chinese classic on human wisdom, written by the Chinese sage Lao Tzu.
It also explains in plain English the essentials of Tao wisdom, which is the
wisdom of TAO TE CHING.
The original text of Tao Te Ching in Chinese is difficult
to understand, not to mention to translate it into another language, because
the text without any punctuation mark was intended to be controversial and open
to multiple interpretations. It should be noted that more than 2,600 years ago
Lao Tzu was reluctant to put down his wisdom in words; as a matter of fact, he
was specifically told by the guard at the city gate that he could not leave
China for Tibet unless he put down his words of wisdom.
Stephen Lau has expressed and interpreted the original text in plain English for readers worldwide to understand the profound Tao wisdom. Tao Te Ching has been translated into multiple languages; it has become one of the most translated works in world literature.
Stephen Lau has published several books
based on the wisdom expressed in Tao Te Ching:
