Lao tsu (288 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Unusual among the scriptures of the world's religions, the Tao Te Ching is not a chronicle of gods and heroes. Instead, it is a series of meditations on the mysterious nature of the Tao--the Way, the guiding principle, the source of all existence. According to Lao Tzu (a name meaning the old master), the Tao is found where we would least expect it--not in the strong but in the weak; not in speech but in silence; not in doing but in not-doing. Wise yet worldly, spiritual yet practical, the Tao Te Ching is beloved by seekers all the world over. Huston Smith says, A testament to humanity's at-home-ness in the universe, it can be read in half an hour or a lifetime. This new edition features a lucid, poetic translation that makes the Tao Te Ching accessible to contemporary readers. In a review of various translations, TaoTeachingMe.com says: It makes a great gift. Every other sentence is a memorable quote. This is our favorite lightweight travel edition of the Tao Te Ching].…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. The most accessible and authoritative modern English translation of this esoteric but infinitely practical bestselling book.  "No one has done better in conveying Lao Tsu's simple and laconic style of writing, so as to produce an English version almost as suggestive of the many meanings intended." --Alan Watts For nearly two generations, Gia-fu Feng and Jane English's bestselling translation of the Tao Te Ching has been the standard for those seeking access to the wisdom of Taoist thought. Now Jane English and her long-time editor, Toinette Lippe, have revised and refreshed the translation so that it more faithfully reflects the Classical Chinese in which it was first written, taking into account changes in our own language and eliminating any lingering infelicities. They have retained the simple clarity of the original rendering of a sometimes seemingly obtuse spiritual text, a clarity that has made this version a classic in itself, selling over a million copies.  Written most probably in the sixth century B.C. by Lao Tsu, this esoteric but infintely practical book has been translated into English more frequently than any other work except the Bible. Gia-fu Feng and Jane English's superb translation offers the essence of each word and makes Lao Tsu's teaching immediate and alive. This edition includes an introduction and notes by the well-known writer and scholar of philosophy and comparative religion, Jacob Needleman.…
