Download or read book Tao Te Ching written by Lao Tzu and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-01-04 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly two generations, this translation of the Tao Te Ching has been the standard for those seeking access to the wisdom of Taoist thought. Now Jane English and her long-time editor, Toinette Lippe, have refreshed and revised the translation, so that it more faithfully reflects the Classical Chinese in which it was first written, while taking into account changes in our own language and eliminating any lingering infelicities. Lao Tsu’s philosophy is simple: Accept what is in front of you without wanting the situation to be other than it is. Study the natural order of things and work with it rather than against it, for to try to change what is only sets up resistance. Nature provides everything without requiring payment or thanks. It does so without discrimination. So let us present the same face to everyone and treat them all as equals, however they may behave. If we watch carefully, we will see that work proceeds more quickly and easily if we stop “trying,” if we stop putting in so much extra effort, if we stop looking for results. In the clarity of a still and open mind, truth will be reflected. Te—which may be translated as “virtue” or “strength”—lies always in Tao meaning “the way” or “natural law.” In other words: Simply be.
Download or read book Chuang Tsu written by and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chuang Tsu: Inner Chapters is a companion volume to Gia-fu Feng and Jane English’s translation of Tao Te Ching, which has enjoyed great success since its publication in 1972. Very little is known about Chuang Tsu, and that little is inextricably woven into legend. It is said that he was a contemporary of Mencius, an official in the Lacquer Garden of Meng in Honan Province around the 4th century b.c. Chuang Tsu was to Lao Tsu as Saint Paul was to Jesus and Plato to Socrates. While the other philosophers were busying themselves with the practical matters of government and rules of conduct, Chuang Tsu transcended the whang cheng, the illusory dust of the world—thus anticipating Zen Buddhism’s emphasis on a state of emptiness or ego transcendence. With humor, imagery, and fantasy, he captures the depth of Chinese thinking. The seven "Inner Chapters" presented in this translation are accepted by scholars as being definitely the work of Chuang Tsu. Another twenty-six chapters are of questionable origin; they are interpretations of his teaching and may have been added by later commentators. This is an updated version of the translation of Chuang Tsu: Inner Chapters that was originally published in 1974. Like the original Chinese, this version uses gender-neutral language wherever possible. This edition includes many new photographs by Jane English and an introduction by Tai Ji master Chungliang Al Huang, who has been highly successful in bringing to the West the wisdom of the East.
Download or read book Tao Te Ching written by Laozi and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tao Te Ching whose authorship has been attributed to Lao Tzu, a record-keeper at the Zhou Dynasty court is a Chinese classic text. The text's true authorship and date of composition are still debated, although the oldest excavated text dates back to the late 4th century BC. The text is fundamental to the Philosophical Taoism and strongly influenced other schools, such as Legalism and Neo-Confucianism. This ancient book is also central in Chinese religion, not only for Religious Taoism but Chinese Buddhism, which when first introduced into China was largely interpreted through the use of Daoist words and concepts. Many Chinese artists, including poets, painters, calligraphers, and even gardeners have used the book as a source of inspiration. Its influence has also spread widely outside East Asia, and is amongst the most translated works in world literature.
Download or read book Hua Hu Ching written by Hua Ching Ni and published by Shambhala. This book was released on 1995-04-11 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lao Tzu, the legendary author of the Tao Te Ching , is also credited with the authorship of the Hua Hu Ching , which embodies some of his later teachings. During a time of political turmoil in the fourteenth century, all copies of this work were banned and ordered to be burned. Thus, few if any complete and accurate manuscripts exist today. Fortunately, the complete teachings of the Hua Hu Ching have been preserved through the oral transmission of generation after generation of Taoist masters to their disciples. In this book, Master Ni, heir to that orally transmitted wisdom, offers a superlative rendering of this reassured teaching.

Download or read book Chuang Tzu written by Chuang Tzu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-15 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reprints an ancient Chinese work from the late Warring States period (3rd century BC) that contains stories and anecdotes exemplifying the carefree nature of the ideal Taoist sage. Chuang Tzu’s philosophy represents the main current of Taoist teachings, and his text is widely regarded as both deeply insightful and a great achievement in the Chinese poetical essay form. The version presented was translated by Feng Yu-lan, the famous Chinese philosopher, who puts more emphasis on Chuang Tzu’s philosophy than do previous attempts. William James once said that every great philosopher has a personal vision. When one has grasped that vision, the whole system can be easily understood. And Crocé once said that the greater a philosophical system is, the simpler the central idea. Although the present translation is limited to the first seven chapters of Chuang Tzu’s writings, it accurately conveys his main vision and ideas.
Download or read book The Sayings Of Confucius written by Confucius and published by Phoemixx Classics Ebooks. This book was released on 2021-08-14 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sayings Of Confucius - Confucius - Confucius was born in the year 550 b.c. in the land of Lu, in a small village, situated in the western part of the modern province of Shantung. His name was K'ung Ch'iu, and his style (corresponding to our Christian name) was Chung-ni. His countrymen speak of him as K'ung Fu-tzu, the Master, or philosopher K'ung. This expression was altered into Confucius by the Jesuit missionaries who first carried his fame to Europe. Confucius, literally "Master Kong" was a Chinese thinker and social philosopher, whose teachings and philosophy have deeply influenced Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese thought and life. His philosophy emphasized personal and governmental morality, correctness of social relationships, justice and sincerity. These values gained prominence in China over other doctrines, such as Legalism or Taoism during the Han Dynasty.Confucius' thoughts have been developed into a system of philosophy known as Confucianism. It was introduced to Europe by the Italian Jesuit Matteo Ricci, who was the first to Latinise the name as "Confucius."

Book excerpt: Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism - together have all left a tremendous impact upon all of those who have lived within eastern societies. Nearly 2,500 years ago, the knowledge that was expounded by these three central teachings gave birth a unique, synergized understanding of reality. These three teachings would then go on to have lasting effects upon every single culture across east Asia. The perspective of reality that these three teachings provided ended up shaping the traditions, daily lives, hearts, and minds of all those who were raised within eastern cultures. It could be said that these three teachings host the entire cultural essence of Asia as we know it today. Although being that it has been more than two millenniums since the conception of these forms of thought; the original teachings that have been hosted within these three understandings have become forgotten over time. This natural deterioration of cultural thought makes the original essence of these teachings difficult for individuals in the modern world to understand. This has proved to be a challenge not only for the western mind but also for young Asian American growing up today. For young Asian Americans, this ever-widening cultural gap between eastern and western culture, has proved to be an arduous task for those who wish to retain parts of their cultural values. In this ever-increasingly western-viewed world, those of whom that seek to retain a piece of their cultural identity continue their struggles and frustrations in silence. These Individuals who struggle to understand their cultural heritage, since being that there is little-to-no educational direction to guide individuals, other forms of thought have become much more readily available for Individuals to adopt. With over 2,500 years of East Asia having a philosophical and collective culturally history, this loss in cultural knowledge is an unfortunate phenomenon. This unfortunate loss of cultural identity can be traced back to the natural deterioration, misinterpretation, and/or Ignorance of the following original teachings - Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism. This book was produced not only for Asian Americans who seek to retain apart of their cultural Identity but also for those within the modern world who wish to attain a deeper insight into the wisdom that is hidden throughout east Asia's cultural understanding. This book is an attempt to speak to individuals in the modern world, on not only on a cultural level but on a humanistic level as well. By encouraging individuals who seek to improve the richness of their lives through the development of universal wisdom. This book seeks to go more in-depth to explicitly discuss - "The Way" - in a modern context. An entirely unique understanding that was formulated and spoken throughout the whispers of eastern literature - for almost 2,000 years. As we, Humanity, continue to move forward and ever-further into the future of the modern age, the wisdom that has been shared and hosted within these three teachings, still holds relevance for the world today. It is my hope that those who pick up this book and the books to come, that they will begin their journeys to a greater awakening of the self. So for those who've lost a piece of their cultural Identity, for those who've struggled internally with themselves, and for those who've cause pain to others without fully understanding why they've done so; for the suffering of Humanity. It is my hope that you will all find and awaken to - "The Way."
