Tao Teh Ching (Used)

Description

Tao Teh Ching (Used).

The Tao Teh Ching is one of the true classics of the world of spiritual literature. Read the words of near-legendary ‘Old Master’ Lao Tzu written more than two thousand years ago.

Tzu conveys that the qualities of the enlightened sage or ideal ruler are identical with those of the perfected individual. To follow the Tao or ‘Way’ of all things and realize their true nature is to embody:

• humility,
• spontaneity, and
• generosity.

Today, his words are as useful in mastering the arts of leadership as they are in developing a sense of balance and harmony in everyday life.
