Description
For over 2500 years, the words of the Tao Te Ching, the primary scripture of Laoism and Taoism, have been regarded as among the greatest treasures of the world. Lao-Tzu, whose name means "the ancient child," wrote these brief but essential verses that have both confounded and conferred blessings on humankind.
Now, Taoist masters Mantak Chia and Tao Huang guide readers through the origins of this philosophy, the meaning behind its 5000 pictographs, and the way of living that generations have followed. While the text of the Tao Te Ching has been passed down in literary form for generations, the essence of the text can be understood only through heart awakening—a true integration of body and mind—made possible with the insights and exercises in this book.
The authors analyse Lao-Tzu's teachings line by line and offer meditations, interpretations, and practical illustrations that clarify the true meaning and purpose of this classic text.
A student of several Taoist masters, Mantak Chia founded the Healing Tao System in North America in 1979 and developed it worldwide as European Tao Yoga and Universal Healing Tao. He has taught and certified tens of thousands of students and instructors from all over the world and tours the United States annually, giving workshops and lectures. He is the author of 25 books, including the best-selling The Multi-Orgasmic Man.
Tao Huang was born in Dingxi in Northwest China. In 1990, he went to the United States to present the teachings of Laoism and the practices of Taoism.
