Synopsis
The Tao Te Ching is understood only through living it. When Tao is embodied… Te is present.
Living Tao Te Ching presents all eighty-one chapters of Lao Tzu’s classic in clear, poetic contemporary English. It offers first-time readers an inviting way into the text, while giving longtime readers a fresh view of its language, paradoxes, and recurring patterns.
This translation balances fidelity to the Chinese with clear, natural contemporary English. Where the Chinese is mysterious or paradoxical, the English remains so.
Recurring terms are rendered with care and consistency, bringing connections among the chapters into view. Spacious poetic lines allow the movement, pauses, and simplicity of the text to be felt as well as understood.
This edition includes:
A complete new English translation of all eighty-one chapters
An original Introduction exploring Tao, Te, Wu Wei (Not-Doing), and the purpose of paradox through concrete experience
Accessible notes illuminating key Chinese terms, textual variations, translation choices, and difficult passages
Consistent recurring language and deliberate capitalization that bring the text’s internal relationships into view
A gender-neutral rendering of the Master and other human figures throughout the text
Whether this is your first encounter with the Tao Te Ching or one of many, this is a translation to read slowly, return to often, and carry into daily life.
Words can point toward Tao.
Living Tao reveals what they mean.
