Extended Summary: Due to popular demand, we present to you another classic translation. No book in the world, besides maybe the bible, has been translated so often and therefore each version is a bit different.
This version transmites the same timeless wisdom on the nature of life, harmony, and the Way (Tao), but with great use of 81 chapters to seperate the different concepts and ideas. The book explores the essence of the Tao (the Way) and its application in life and governance. Ch’u Ta-Kao’s translation captures the poetic and enigmatic nature of the original, making its profound teachings accessible to a modern audience.
The text emphasizes the importance of living in harmony with the natural order of the universe. It teaches that by embracing simplicity, humility, and non-attachment, individuals can align with the Tao and experience a life of peace and balance. Laozi contrasts the virtues of softness and yielding with the pitfalls of rigidity and force, suggesting that true strength lies in flexibility and adaptability.
Central to the Tao Te Ching is the idea of wu wei, or effortless action, which advocates for flowing with the rhythms of life rather than resisting them. Laozi also highlights the virtues of compassion, moderation, and humility as the foundation of a meaningful existence. In governance, he advises leaders to lead by example, avoid excess, and prioritize the well-being of their people, reflecting the Tao’s principles in social and political spheres.
Ch’u Ta-Kao’s translation preserves the mystical and universal appeal of Laozi’s words, offering timeless guidance on finding harmony within oneself and with the world. The Tao Te Ching remains a beacon of wisdom, inspiring readers to embrace simplicity, cultivate inner peace, and live in alignment with the eternal Tao.

Not sure what just reading a book thats been read and re read is a translation.😮
Instead of trying to be a mountain,
teaches the ancient Tao Te Ching,
“Be the valley of the universe.”
In this way,
you are restored to wholeness
and so “all things will come to you.”

If this video does not make sense, if it seems like gibberish or if this makes you laugh, then you are not spiritually developed enough to recieve the message at this time and need to return at a later time and date. This is advanced level wisdom and a treasure.

The Dao, spelled Tao, written by Lao, translatted by Kao. Perfect!
Interesting bit of history, but I can’t say I agree with the point at 57:48…people with much knowledge are difficult to govern and will destroy peace? Yet, the most educated countries and states also have much less violence among other issues.

Happy you guys chose this book
The Tao de Jing was the thing that started it all for me. When I decided to apply the Tao, life keeps getting better. ❤️
Tbh, I believe in God because of the Tao. And how we should follow nature’s harmonious rhythms and examples. ❤️
My fav version of this book is Wayne Dyer’s version! It’s even more digestible.
Thank you Master Key Society for keeping my mind on point. ❤️
I would love to hear "Zhuangzi" too.
