Course Title: Lao-tzu and Tao-te ching Revealed

A 10-lesson email course by Jhian and Way of Perfect Emptiness

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.  

This course is intended to teach you the Tao-te ching: its structure, concepts and meaning. Also you will learn about the biography of Lao-tzu and the historical meeting of Lao-tzu and Confucius.

1. Who was Lao-tzu?
2. Lao-tzu meets Confucius
3. Introduction to the Tao-te ching (name, structure, philosophy)
