Written about 500 BCE, the "Tao Te Ching" is largely unknown by modern Westerners. It is NOT a religious text, but rather an exquisite "manual for living with integrity." We will examine its background, discuss why various translations differ, and review passages you may be surprised come from the "Tao Te Ching"!
