Course Title: Lao-tzu and Tao-te ching Revealed A 10-lesson email course by Jhian and Way of Perfect Emptiness |
- Status: Continuous
- Description:
Lao-tzu (translated as The Old Master) is considered to be the father of Taoism. He wrote a book - Tao-te ching (the Classic about the Tao and its Characteristics) - which describes the Taoist Way and its main concepts such as tao, yin-yang, wu and wu-wei. Unfortunately the book is written in a cyphered language so that its meaning is difficult to grasp.
