Dao De Jing

by Roger T. Ames, David L. Hall Narrated by Ralph Lowenstein

Overview

Composed more than two thousand years ago, the Dao de jing (Tao Te Ching) set forth an alternative vision of reality in a world torn apart by violence and betrayal. Second only to the Bible, this timeless classic is one of the world's most revered inspirational books. Daoism offers a comprehensive view of experience grounded in a full understanding of the wonders hidden in the ordinary. Now in this luminous new translation, Chinese scholars Ames and Hall bring the timeless wisdom of the Dao de jing into our contemporary world.

Editorial Reviews

FEB/MAR 04 - AudioFile

A new translation of the DAO DE JING, an ancient religious Chinese teaching, is based on recent scholarly evidence about the text, including its sources. Ralph Lowenstein’s clear, deep voice and careful, sometimes somber tone show respect for the material throughout. In addition to the reading of this ancient religious text, a useful appendix discusses the sources and abridged construction of the DAO DE JING, the meaning of the text, and the important relationship between the construction of the text and its meaning.
