The Tao Te Ching





"Follow the nothingness of the
Tao and you can be like it, not
needing anything, seeing the
wonder and the root of
everything."

Lao-tzu




"Nigel Hawthorne's inspiring reading brings to life this new translation of Lao-tsu's 2500 year old Chinese classic. It is a collection of sayings and commentaries on ourselves and our relationship to the world, whose influence has been felt since the Han dynasty two hundred years before Christ."
