The Book of Transcendental Dao and De by Wong Hong Fay Pdf

DàoDéJing or Tao Te Ching is a must read for the ethnic Chinese. This millennia-year old ancient scripture is known for its insights, wisdoms, and philosophies of the Chinese civilization. It has a deep-rooted influence over the Chinese people throughout history. But it is a challenging task to read and decipher the cryptic meaning of the text, let alone understand it. With this translation and commentaries in English, it is hope that it would serve as a useful resource for the English-speaking Chinese worldwide. This translation is also a must read for all others who want to know the psyche of the Chinese people, as well as to feel the pulse of China today in general. The Dào expounded by Laozi is beyond the conventional wisdom and science. In essence, the Dào transcends the ordinary realm. It is simply the true nature of things. It is neither a belief, faith, religion, metaphysics or philosophy. It is just the realization of the enlightened ones throughout the history of mankind. To relate what they knew, they would use their own words, analogies, metaphors, and gestures to illustrate it. For Laozi, he merely called it the Dào. The Dào is everywhere in our day-to-day life, but ordinarily we wouldn’t realize it until we see things as they really are. If a flower is seen as beautiful, then it is no longer the physical flower as it is, but a fanciful flower spiced-up in our mind. In the real world, everything appears only as it is, neither beautiful or ugly, big or small. This is the true nature of things. One cannot know the Dào by the use of the thinking mind. So the Dào cannot be seen from the perspective of belief, philosophy, or science. It can only be known or realized with the mind in complete silence and presence.

The Book of Transcendental Dào and Dé by Wong Hong Fay Pdf

"Nonexistence, thus noted, is the origin of the universe. Existence, thus named, is the mother of all manifestations. Therefore, abide by the Dào of nonexistence in order to witness the transcendent wonders. Observe the Universe of existence in order to uncover the disparate clues." Laozi-DàoDéJing This is an English translation of the ancient Chinese scripture DàoDéJing. The scripture is an encapsulation of the millennia year old insights, wisdoms, and philosophies of the Chinese civilization. DàoDéJing proclaimed that the Dào is the ultimate Truth and the true nature of things, whilst Dé is the qualitative manifestation of the Dào. Both the Dào and Dé are transcendental and perfect. Therefore DàoDéJing is literally "The Book of Transcendental Dào and Dé". This translation sought to unravel the cryptic and transcendental meanings of the scripture, which often sounds like a bunch of mumbo-jumbo. It is hope that the English speaking readers will find this translation a useful resource for getting an insight into the transcendental wisdoms of the author Laozi, who was regarded as the truly enlightened one throughout the Chinese history. It should also serve to provide a good glimpse into some of the Chinese philosophy, culture, customs and beliefs that, in many aspects, are firmly rooted in his teachings. A substantial list of quotable quotes by Laozi is given at the end of the book.

Dao De Jing, Or the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu Laozi Pdf

A new and attentively restored dual-language edition of the 6th-century B.C.E. Chinese Philosophical and Spiritual classic, presented in the celebrated translation of James Legge with the original text at its side. Through 81 transcendent topics, Laozi dispenses his accumulated knowledge and original philosophy of peace and harmony, and the virtues of simplicity. He introduced the doctrine of meekness conquering brutality and repaying injury with kindness to a consistently unforgiving world. And, perhaps most importantly, he introduced the idea that behaviour is a choice, wisdom coming not from learning, but being. Foundational to Taoism, and highly influential in the West for over two centuries, the Dao De Jing's legendary wisdom and sagacious inversion of the apparent is a must read for every student of traditional Eastern philosophy, religion, spirituality, and history.

The Original Wisdom of the DAO de Jing by P. J. Laska Pdf

The Dao De Jing is a classic of ancient Chinese philosophy and one of the great wisdom texts of world literature. To recover its original meaning P. J. Laska sets aside the long commentarial tradition of paradox and mysticism and re-interprets the work as a coherent natural philosophy and holistic ecological teaching concerned with the "constancy" of the life community as a whole. In this new translation and commentary the ancient "Way of the Sages" is presented as biocentric political ecology teaching that "Great governance does not cut," but acts to protect the community of life from the "excess, extravagance and extremes" of accumulationist designs. The commentary on each translated verse is designed to convey the holistic understanding of the world-process that the ancient sages' used to guide human designs toward simplicity and integration with nature and away from hierarchical instruments of domination.

Mysteries of Dao De Jing (Tao Te Ching) Revealed by Dr. Guo Yong Jin Pdf

Lao Zi (also Lao-Tzu or Lao-Tze) was an ancient Chinese philosopher and writer. His book, Dao De Jing (or Tao Te Ching), has been in circulation for more than 2,500 years. There are many versions and more than one thousand annotations, yet most readers still find it difficult to understand, let alone apply in daily life. Thus Dao De Jing is often misunderstood and regarded as containing mystical teachings disconnected from reality. In Mysteries of Dao De Jing (Tao Te Ching) Revealed, author Dr. Guo Yong Jin dismisses many myths about this great work, including its link to Taoism (a religion founded six hundred years after Lao Zi). Shedding the mystical and surreal, he brings clarity to the teachings by drawing on Lao Zi’s source of inspiration—nature. In this way, Dr. Guo distinguishes his interpretation of Dao De Jing from those before him. The typical interpretation focuses on the semantics of Lao Zi’s written word; Dr. Guo, however, returns to the roots of Dao De Jing, using simple observations of nature to clarify the text. Dao De Jing lays bare the truths and realities of life and the universe. It explains the origins of life and the principles upon which the universe operates. Though much of Dao De Jing is mirrored in science and psychology, the ancient text offers an even deeper understanding. It is neither superstitious nor religious, nor is it a personal philosophy. Dao De Jing is simply wisdom in its essence.

Daoism by Ronnie L. Littlejohn Pdf

'The way that can be told is not the eternal Way; the name that can be named is not the eternal Name.' So begins the first verse of the mysterious "Dao De Jing", foundation text of the ancient Chinese religion of Daoism. Often attributed to semi-mythical sage Laozi, the origins of this enigmatic document - which probably came into being in the third century BCE - are actually unknown. But the tenets of Daoism laid down in the "Dao De Jing", and in later texts like the "Yi Jing" (or "Book of Changes"), continue to exert considerable fascination, particularly in the West, where in recent years they have been popularized by writers such as the novelist Ursula K LeGuin. In this fresh and engaging introduction to Daoism, Ronnie L Littlejohn discusses the central facets of a tradition which can sometimes seem as elusive as the slippery notion of 'Dao' itself. The author shows that fundamental to Daoism is the notion of 'Wu-wei', or non-action: a paradoxical idea emphasizing alignment of the self with the harmony of the universe, a universe in continual flux and change. This flux is expressed by the famous symbol of Dao, the 'taiji' representing yin and yang eternally correlating in the form of a harmonious circle. Exploring the great subtleties of this ancient religion, Littlejohn traces its development and encounters with Buddhism; its expression in art and literature; its fight for survival during the Cultural Revolution; and its manifestations in modern-day China and beyond.

Poetic, Humorous, Wise, Deep-hearted, and at times frustratingly enigmatic, the 'Tao Te Jing' is required reading for any student of mysticism and philosophy. It is also the perfect antidote to our contemporary materialist culture of acquisition and self-aggrandisement.
