An English translation of the Tao Te Ching with 81 chapters, beautifully illustrated with distinctive art and calligraphy.

The eternal fascination of this classic work of religious literature—first published over 2,000 years ago—lies in its profound wisdom, and the light it casts on the spiritual and moral pathway we must all walk.

Translated from the original Chinese text, which ensures Lao Tzu’s message remains pure, Chao-Hsiu Chen’s new and accurate interpretation draws on the original Chinese text. Each of the eighty-one chapter heading symbols is beautifully illustrated with Chao’s own distinctive brushwork style art and calligraphy.

Read the chapters in sequence, or select one at random each day, for inspiration and guidance to illuminate your way.[AuthorName]Translated by Chao-Hsiu Chen[/AuthorName][AuthorBio]Chao-Hsiu Chen is a renowned artist, philosopher, and musician who grew up in Taiwan studying Taoist, Confucian, and Buddhist teachings.
