Synopsis

Lao Tzu, who lived in China approximately 2600 years ago, tells us to seek that natural nameless state where there is peace and harmony. This book explores the way of Lao Tzu: the destination that Lao Tzu tells us to seek; the directions that Lao Tzu offers to help us to reach the destination; the problems that Lao Tzu tells us we will encounter trying to reach the destination; and finally, the strategies that Lao Tzu offers to help us to overcome these problems and to successfully follow his directions.Quotations are new translations from the Chinese texts available today. All key words are linked to the original Chinese words together with their meanings and nuances, allowing readers to explore the full richness of the original Chinese words and to choose the meanings and nuances that they think better suit particular quotations.This book is part of the series ‘Ways of the World’ in which Gary explores different ways of the world that have helped to shape his mind – including religious, philosophical and secular ways. Books in this series currently include: ‘Exploring the Way of Epictetus’, ‘Exploring the Way of Epicurus’, ‘Exploring the Way of the Buddha’, ‘Exploring the Way of Jesus’, and this book ‘Exploring the Way of Lao Tzu’.
