Lao Tzu by Lee Sun Chen Org Pdf
The book Lao Tzu (aka Tao Te Ching ) is a book originated in the sixth century BCE in China. Unlike most writings of that time, it embodies an intgrated work of philosophy. Furthermore, it encompasses themes on religion, political science, social science and traditional thoughts(e.g. I Ching) before Lao Tzu. All the original Taoism created by Lao Tzu are manifested in a simple book of about five thousand Chinese characters. From a modern prospective his profound thought is expressed in compressed expressions. Even Confucius, like numerous Chinese, treated sayings of Lao Tzu as adages. Hardly any punctilious Chinese intellectual, including antagonists of this book, could argue successfully that the whole text does not deserved to be painstakingly examined. For example, the famous aphorism “A journey of one thousand miles started out from one single step” was initially in this book. This translation and introduction of Tao Te Ching was aimed to be both philosophically and linguistically closest to the original Tao of Taoism. The Chinese version of this English book will shortly be published by People’s Press as well. Sir Karl Popper, the author of Open Society and Its Enemies, has strongly recommended the translator of this version. When the first attempt on translation was made in 1985 Sir Alfred J. Ayer commented “Your work on Lao Tzu promises to be very interesting”.

Tao Te Ching in Plain English by Jing Han,Lao Tzu Pdf
The Tao Te Ching (or Dao De Jing), written around the early 6th century BC, became a cornerstone in the philosophical view known as Taoism, as well as the ancient religion of Dao. People have taken to living their lives after this text, and have thrived upon its valuable advice. For centuries, this famous book has inspired, enlightened, and also taught generations the importance of philosophy. Both legal and educational scholars throughout Chinese history have called this book their favorite, and it seems as if a new section of society realizes the Tao Te Ching's beauty every decade. Written by Lao Tzu, also known as the "Old Master," the Tao Te Ching is known for being both a permanent part of Chinese culture, as well as one of the most famous books of all time in the field of philosophy. You will find that no less than a dozen sayings and idioms that Chinese people use in their daily life were originated from this book. Translations of the Tao Te Ching are often accomplished after a lot of difficulties are overcome in the actual act of translating it. The original text was written in Ancient Chinese, a language that is filled with different connotations, meanings, and nuances to each word. Even modern Chinese speakers have problems translating the original Tao Te Ching; being able to translate it while keeping its rich meaning intact has been a feat that isn't easily accomplished. The biggest problems found in other English versions of the Tao Te Ching are that in many cases extras were added by the translators based on their own understanding; while in other cases words were lost or omitted from original Chinese text. Some translations were gibberish and difficult to understand. Great care has been taken in this version to give a precise translation without adding the translator's own interpretation. You will find that this new translation is easy to understand, yet virtually unchanged from the original Tao. This new English translation of the Tao Te Ching will enlighten and entertain people for years to come.

道德经: 老子原文与译文 by Yuan Zhiming Pdf
Tao Te Ching: Original Text and A Modern Interpretation by Yuan Zhiming English Translation by Daniel Baida Su and Chen Shangyu Among hundreds of English translation and thousands of Chinese interpretation of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, Yuan Zhiming offers a unique perspective - seeing Lao Tzu from the vintage point of the ancient Hebrew Bible. This is a dawning moment in the history of Lao Tzu interpretation. Historically, there have always been huge differences from one interpretation to another, each tinted with individual interpreter's specific world view, mostly from the view point of Confucianism, Buddhism, Legalism, Militarism, Yin and Yang, Neo-Confucianism, Marxism, and so on. Only in the light of the Bible, the mysterious and profound Tao becomes visible, touchable, explicit, and understandable. Yuan Zhiming describes his enlightenment: "When I enter into Tao, experiencing the magnificent and miraculous divinity through the life of Jesus, there seems a ray of brilliant light illuminating Lao Tzu, enabling me to recognize the inner meaning behind each of Lao Tzu's word." Yuan Zhiming firmly believes that there must be a spiritual source which links the ancient Hebrew civilization with the ancient Chinese civilization, and with all other ancient civilizations. This source is unquestionably originated from the One who sets all nations on one planet (Earth) and that One is Logos - Tao. Tao is universal. The universal Tao will illuminate all heart in the East and the West.

Lao Tzu's TAO TEH KING by Lao Tzu,Manuera Mura Pdf
"Previously published as " Lao Tzu's TAO TE KING 老子道德經 " The Chinese ideogram 道 TAO can be translated as "the Way", which can mean either the right path to follow in the journey of life, the journey of knowledge, or simply 'the way things go'. The concept of Tao has been used since ancient times in Chinese Philosophy, Religion, and Spirituality, to indicate the infinite principle of creation, the origin of good and evil, of everything that exists, the beginning of the existence of all beings. The TAO TE CHING is an ancient Chinese manuscript about the Tao and it tries to explain in simple words a concept that is not easily intelligible, as it is infinite, therefore it is not easy to define. The legendary author of the Tao Te Ching, LAO TZU was an old wise man who lived in the centuries between the 6th and 5th BC, and he is still revered today as a Saint. With his Book of the Tao, Lao Tzu is considered the founder of the School of Thought known as TAOISM. S.A.Julien, J.Legge, S.Williams, P.Carus, D.T.Suzuki, T.F.Wade, H.A.Giles, D.Goddard, are among the most eminent sinologists and translators of the Tao Te Ching, in the years between the late 18th century and early 1900. Wade and Giles give their name to the transliteration, or romanization (the transcription of the pronunciation of Chinese ideograms in the letters of the Latin alphabet) in use until 1979, the year in which the modern Pinyin (ISO) system was adopted, the system that is also used on the Internet. The romanization of the Chinese title of the book: 《老子道德經》 (Wade-Giles: "Lao Tzu Tao Te Ching"), in Pinyin Chinese, is: "Lao Zi DAO DE JING". In this book, I have kept the pronunciation with which the Tao Te Ching has spread, translated into all the languages of the world, and has been known by mine and by past generations. This edition, to which I have added for Tao lovers and scholars, the original full text in Chinese Ideograms, and Romanization, is taken from the book Tao & Wu Wei (Brentano's Publishers, New York, 1919), which included D.Goddard's original English translation of the Tao Teh King, and a short essay on Taoism "Wu Wei", by Dutch sinologist, writer and translator Henri Borel (1869-1933). This book does not include Borel's Wu Wei. In 1939 D.Goddard became a publisher himself and he published a different translation of the Tao Teh King, made in collaboration with Bhikshu Wai-Tao, which still included the Wu Wei, with the addition of the "Notes on Taoist Philosophy and Religion" by Dr. Kiang Kang-Hu. The reason why I chose, among the many, the English translation by D. Goddard, is because, in my opinion, it is the simplest and the most literal. DWIGHT GODDARD (1861-1939), was an American writer and translator, who became a pioneer in the American Zen Buddhist movement. "The publication of the texts marked the end of a fascinating journey on the part of Goddard from engineer, to Christian missionary and minister, to student, to practitioner of Zen Buddhism. The best record of this journey is Goddard's own writings." (R.Aitken). With an innumerable series of essays, translations, and collections of sacred texts, first of all, "A Buddhist Bible" (1932), he inspired the greatest poets of the Beat Generation, like Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. The translation of the Tao Teh King "was one of the few explicitly non-Buddhist texts in that collection." (J.Bruno Hare)

Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu Pdf
For nearly two generations, this translation of the Tao Te Ching has been the standard for those seeking access to the wisdom of Taoist thought. Now Jane English and her long-time editor, Toinette Lippe, have refreshed and revised the translation, so that it more faithfully reflects the Classical Chinese in which it was first written, while taking into account changes in our own language and eliminating any lingering infelicities. Lao Tsu’s philosophy is simple: Accept what is in front of you without wanting the situation to be other than it is. Study the natural order of things and work with it rather than against it, for to try to change what is only sets up resistance. Nature provides everything without requiring payment or thanks. It does so without discrimination. So let us present the same face to everyone and treat them all as equals, however they may behave. If we watch carefully, we will see that work proceeds more quickly and easily if we stop “trying,” if we stop putting in so much extra effort, if we stop looking for results. In the clarity of a still and open mind, truth will be reflected. Te—which may be translated as “virtue” or “strength”—lies always in Tao meaning “the way” or “natural law.” In other words: Simply be.

A Translation of Lao-tzu’s Tao Te Ching and Wang Pi’s Commentary by Paul J. Lin Pdf
During the Spring-Autumn period (722–420 BCE) and the time of the Warring States (480–222 CE), China was in great turmoil. Intellectuals and social reformers sifted through their wisdom and knowledge of China’s experiences up to then, attempting to find a solution to their situation. The Tao Te Ching, one of the foremost products of the era, is a metaphysical book, a source of the highest political thought. Many readers have found in it representations of the highest ideals of human endeavors. Yet given its likely oral origin and the technological limitations of its early textual transmission, the Tao Te Ching raises numerous questions related to authorship, date of origin, internal organization, textual coherence, and editorial history. Of the scores of translations of the Tao Te Ching, the great majority are based on the edition prepared by the third-century scholar Wang Pi. Wang’s profound commentary is itself a deeply influential text in the development of Taoist thought. Paul Lin presents the commentary, otherwise unavailable in English, in the form of footnotes accompanying his meticulous rendition of the Taoist classic.

New Paraphrase of Chuang Tzu by Zhongyuan Cai Pdf
Chuang Tzu is the second greatest classical work of Taoist thought and philosophy in China. It has had great influence both on China and on the rest of the world since it began to be disseminated. It is mostly written in the form of fable. All of the fables are written by traversing space-time to elucidate the Great Tao and the philosophy of life. It has shone, is shining and will shine on the development of the world with Taoist wisdom. Chuang Tzu is always an indispensible guideline to the people who are confused. As we know, the rich material world cannot change the poor spiritual world. The pursuit for material life is like a shackle, which makes it impossible for people to find a final and stable home to return to. People are deeply involved in the construction of material life without stop, but they can hardly find where their real happiness is in their lives. Faced with this universal problem, the Western society turns to Jesus for a solution while the oriental society turns to Chuang Tzu’s “leisurely and care- free” philosophy for a solution. Just like Lao Tzu, Chuang Tzu always reminds people to find for themselves the root of moral character—nature and return to it. If people do not return to the root, they will lose their real happiness of life. To taste life better, people should read Chuang Tzu; to become leisurely and carefree, people should read Chuang Tzu. Chuang Tzu can help people broaden their horizon and learn how to look at their life from a higher standing point and find real happiness for themselves. This work, though named New Paraphrase of Chuang Tzu, is actually an English version of Chuang Tzu. It is just aimed to set up a bridge between English readers and Chuang Tzu.
