Lao-tzu and Tao-te ching Revealed
10-lesson email course by Jhian and the Way of Perfect Emptiness Status: Continuous As you know Tao
Te Ching is the work of Lao Tzu (The Old/Venerable Sage). It is a book written upon the request of Yin Hsi - the guardian of the mountain pass - when Lao-tzu decided to leave the Chou land and go West. The book is
considered the Bible of Taoism because one find there the main topics of Taoism teachings such as Tao, Wu (emtpiness) and Wu-Wei (nondoing). Unfortunately the book itself is difficult to understand because it uses
concepts and ideas linked with the Chinese ancient philosophy which is not familiar to Westerners. Also the language of the book, its symbols and allegories are obscure and difficult to grasp. This is the reason why
we created this course, in order to explain in plain words the book and its main concepts. Here are the lessons: 1. Who was Lao-tzu?
