A timeless gem, a present from the Tao….

by

This link will take you to the translation of the 9781848375444-uk-300Tao Te Ching done by J.H. McDonald in 1996

This extraordinary teaching is as pertinent now as when it was written around  2500 years ago.

I have come across quite a few different translations  and find this to be the clearest so far…. and I have seen some which are very strange indeed!

This is a translation for the public domain so I believe it’s fine to offer it in this way. I found it on a site, to which I am grateful, but as it was decorated by, amongst other things, a picture of a small tank…..

…. I have ‘re-wrapped’ it for your enjoyment.

If it appeals to you I found some attractive soft-back copies of this translation which are available from Abe books.

No i don’t get commission 🙂    Merry Christmas!

Good bye and good luck to those at Wisdom books

Wisdom books (Ilford, Uk) was run by some very friendly helpful and knowledgeable people on a not-for-profit basis – a pretty rare way of operating these days but particularly meritorious in their enabling and facilitating of dharma study over many years.

They recently ceased trading and i wanted to join with many others in thanking them for what they have done and in hoping that their new lives are healthy, enjoyable, fruitful and as full of dharma as before!
