The interpretations of "Tao Te Ching" are as many as its translations. Each author is looking at Lao Tzu's immortal classic from his or her own perspective, and this is also one of the many reasons why "Tao Te Ching" is eye-opening and thought-provoking. The Bible and "Tao Te Ching" are among the most translated and extensively read books of all time, and for a good reason: one is about God's wisdom, and the other is about human wisdom. The author's own translation of "Tao Te Ching" is based on his belief that Lao Tzu's masterpiece is about the Creator of the universe, and that with true human wisdom man sees not only the manifestations but also the mysteries of His creation. The book is about true human wisdom without the "conditioned" thinking of contemporary wisdom. Without the "reverse" mindset of Lao Tzu, man may have difficulties in understanding the wisdom of God expressed in the Bible. The book is divided into four parts. Part One is about the author's reasons for writing the book, and also why "Tao Te Ching" is a "must read" for anyone who seeks real human wisdom. Part Two is the author's own translation of the 81 chapters of "Tao Te Ching" with respect to the Bible; each chapter is followed by some selected Bible verses for further reflection on what Lao Tzu has said. Part Three is about the essentials of Tao wisdom with detailed explanation in simple language and with everyday life examples to help the reader understand the profound wisdom of Lao Tzu. Part Four is an explanation of how Tao wisdom may help the reader understand God's wisdom in the Bible. Tao is the Way to Biblical wisdom.

The profound teaching in Lao Tzu and the Bible enriches the spirit of not only the Chinese people but also the people of the West." -Dr. Paul de Vries, president of New York Divinity School and author of The Taming of the Shrewd Lao Tzu and the Bible offers not only a spiritual feast to the analytical minds about Tao/Word/Logos, illustrating Tao in a tangible form, the Holy One/Jesus Christ, but also provides helpful advice about how to follow and be united with Tao.

Tao Te Ching The Way of the Power is also known as the Laozi and is one of only several ancient Chinese texts that allows us a small window into the minds of the ancient scholars and how they passed their knowledge and wisdom on to the few that desired to hear it. Unlike the West, the East's culture wants to erase the past every 12 years and look to the future for ho. This cultural behavior is one that keeps their culture surviving even through catastrophes that occurred thru history in every facet of their society. The East was a great warring region starting with the Hsiung-nu tribesmen that eventually became the Mongols, with constant invasions and ruthless slaughter of people over many thousands of years providing the motivation for building and expanding the Great Wall of China that did bring peace for a period in the unknown history of the Asian society. with no self protection, the people suffered great atrocities, the ruling families owned the only military and the well armed military were used to humiliate enemies and show disrespect and dishonor by their enemies losing in battle. The Asian culture focuses on respectful and honorable behavior in all facets of society and so when one warring family would win in battle, the losing military would commit suicide on the battlefield hoping to recover their honor and respect from the conquering army. Villagers, if not killed on the battlefield were slaughtered by the barbarians from the north. The text's authorship and date of translation is unknown. The oldest copy dates to the late 4th century BCE, when Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden in Babylonia in today, Iraq, Cain kills his brother Abel and the bronze age brings better weapons for men to kill in battle. The Way of the Power was reduced to just 34 chapters from 81 by the author compressing the many words needed to translate each character needed for translation of used by the ancient Asian culture to store and pass on a little of society's wisdom and knowledge, but its been updated with 21st century Psychology, Physics, Engineering, Communications Science and Christian theology. The Tao Te Ching contrasts what the West developed in its vast libraries and books on science, philosophy, architecture, history, etc during the same period to do the same. The ideas of the Tare condensed to the singular; the style is poetic. The rhetorical style combines short, declarative statements and intentional contradictions for the reader to exercise reasoning and problem solving. The first lines create memorable phrases, while the second forces the reader to create their own contradictions. The Tao Te Ching The Way of Power is one of just a few fundamental text for Taoist, Legalists, Confucius, Daosts and Buddhist to study as the Christian Bible is studied. When the Tao Te Ching was introduced, it was interpreted through Daoist words and concepts. The author includes original Chinese art works including poetry, paintings, calligraphy and gardens. Many artists used the Tao Te Ching for inspiration. Its influence spread far outside of Asia, and is among the most translated text in world literature and the least understood du. The Wade-Giles romanization for the "Tao Te Ching" dates back to the late 19th century; where its influence can be seen in the words and phrases that the West added. The passages are purposefully ambiguous, and topics range from political advice for rulers to practical wisdom for the everyday people. Because the variety of interpretation is limitless, not only for different translators but all for the same person's re-translation over time, readers must avoid objectivity or definability. The Tao Te Ching is for those that want a mind expanding experience, one that broadens one's understanding of the world as the world was understood over 2600 years ago that still remain relevant to our daily experiences. Includes a bibliography, lsuggested readings and an 81 verse Tao Te Ching in Appendix 1 in paperback only.
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.

o The Tao Te Ching is one of the oldest and most translated books in history. Over the past 2500 years, these eighty-one rudimentary verses have been translated, interpreted, and paraphrased innumerable times probably almost as much as the Bible. o The true beauty of the Tao Te Ching lies in its simplicity and general lack of law, codes, or dogma. The Tao Te Ching says that true wisdom cannot simply be written in words or symbols it must be lived and experienced. And, he who is truly wise does not even know how wise he is. o The sage, the prophet, or enlightened one, is simply called The Person. The Person understands and appreciates his impermanence and unrelenting move to complete union with the ETERNAL SOURCE. o The Person who is ultimately concerned about his relationship with God or ultimate reality and the possibility of reunion and centering within that source has already been grasped by the ETERNAL SOURCE. This act of grace is available to all. There is no need to ask any further questions or do anything: no words, no actions, no worship, no sacrifice. Anything additional would only distort reality. The Person who is centered within the ETERNAL SOURCE simply lives the truth, reveals the truth and is the truth.
