Description

Thomas Cleary brings a new welcoming common sense to this recognised scholarly classic. - (1991) 184 pages

Lao-tzu, the legendary sage of ancient China, is traditionally considered to be the author of the 'Tao Te Ching', one of the most popular classics of world literature.

Now Lao-tzu's further teachings on the Tao, or Way, are presented here in the first English translation of the Chinese text known as the 'Wen-tzu.

Although previously ignored by Western scholars, the 'Wen-tzu' has long been revered by the Chinese as one of the great classics of ancient Taoism.

In it, Lao-tzu shows that the cultivation of simplicity and spontaneity is essential to both the enlightened individual and the wise leader.

This timeless work will appeal to a broad audience of contemporary readers who have come to consider Lao-tzu's 'Tao Te Ching' a classic on the art of living.
