Description

Tao Te Ching, traditionally attributed to Lao Tzu, is a cornerstone of Taoism, delving into its philosophical and religious tenets. The text, known for its poetic and paradoxical style, consists of 81 brief chapters exploring the nature of 'Tao' (the Way) and 'Te' (virtue), emphasizing simplicity, spontaneity, and harmony with the universe.

Historically, Tao Te Ching has profoundly influenced Chinese thought, extending beyond Taoism to impact Confucianism and Chinese Buddhism. Its themes resonate in various cultural realms, including art and literature, making it a seminal text in world philosophy and one of the most translated works globally.
