Spirit of Tao Te Ching
Some 2,500 years ago Lao Tzu packed his yak and rode off into China's wild frontier, never to be seen again. Before he left, however, this legendary sage wrote the Tao Te Ching (the Book of the Way and its Virtue). Second to the Bible, this classic text is the most translated book in the world. In its 81 verses it gives us simple truths about peace, joy and harmony; and practical wisdom for life, work and relationships. This book has influenced the lives of millions with a universal message that transcends culture and time. Jeff Rasmussen has authored Spirit of Tao Te Ching, an English version of this work. This poetic version of the Tao Te Ching weaves in literary allusions from medieval mystic Julian of Norwich, the Aztec poet-king Ixtlilxochitl, painter Paul Klee, songwriters Gilbert and Sullivan, poets TS Eliot and Stephen Vincent Benét, and others.

Laozi (Chinese: 老子; pinyin: Lǎozǐ; Wade–Giles: Laosi; also Lao Tse, Lao Tu, Lao-Tzu, Lao-Tsu, Laotze, Lao Zi, Laocius, and other variations) was a mystic philosopher of ancient China, and is a central figure in Taoism (also spelled "Daoism"). Laozi literally means "old master", and is generally considered honorific. Laozi is revered as a deity in most religious forms of Taoism. Taishang Laojun is title for Laozi in the Taoist religion, which refers to him as "One of the Three Pure Ones". According to Chinese tradition, Laozi lived in the 6th century BC. Historians variously contend that Laozi is a synthesis of multiple historical figures, that he is a mythical figure, or that he actually lived in the 4th century BC, concurrent with the Hundred Schools of Thought and Warring States Period. A central figure in Chinese culture, both nobility and common people claim Laozi in their lineage. Throughout history, Laozi's work has been embraced by various anti-authoritarian movements. **Source**: [Laozi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laozi) on Wikipedia.
