Description

The Tao that can be spoken of is not the real Way. This profound statement from the Tao-te-ching highlights the paradox at the heart of the Taoist tradition: the elusive nature of the universe's mysterious energy, which underlies all of life. This book offers a beginner's introduction to the vast and complex writings of the sacred Chinese tradition through original translations of excerpts from the Taoist canon. Accompanying these selections are brief introductions and notes on translation, as well as texts on devotional and mystical Taoism, internal alchemy, stories of immortals and sorcerers, ethical tracts, chants, rituals, and teachings on meditation. By exploring these diverse writings, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the spiritual and philosophical principles that underpin the Taoist tradition.
