Description
The Sage's Tao Te Ching, 20th Anniversary Edition by Hank Tusinki and William Martin offers a profound free-verse interpretation of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, one of the world's most widely read books of wisdom.
This interpretation subtly and powerfully captures the complex emotions connected with growing older. It encourages today's sages to recognise their inestimable worth in a youth-centric world that often goes astray.
A central theme of the book invites reflection: 'Will I be able to harvest my life in compassion and love for the world? Will I find in my own heart the wisdom for which I long? This question trumps all others for me. I suspect it is the same for you.'
Readers are reminded of the veneration of sages in China for thousands of years and are inspired to seek wisdom amidst the challenges of contemporary life.
