Tao de Jing. A book about the path and virtue. Lao Tzu

You are in front of you a unique monument of human thought, which underlies Taoism - the traditional Chinese teaching about the “path of things”, which includes elements of religion and philosophy.

“Book on the Way and Life” occupies after the Bible the second place in the world in the number of foreign translations. The origin of this book and the personality of its author were shrouded in many legends: Lao Tzu created this work more than two thousand years ago, but his treatise still remains an inexhaustible source of wisdom and reflection on being, justice, as well as the nature of good and evil. The main secret of Lao Tzu seems to be paradoxical: to become yourself, you need to eliminate your private "I"; To have power, you need not to desire it, etc. And the secret of reading is to comprehend the inner depth of the meaning that wisdom inspires, revealing a different and opposite meaning in each judgment.
