The Tao Te Ching says that true wisdom cannot simply be written in words or symbols-it must be lived and experienced. And, he who is truly wise does not even know...

The Tao-Te Ching includes 'The Book of the Way' (the Tao) and 'The Book of Virtue or Power' (the Te) in which the teachings of Lao-Tzu are set down.

Through time--from one powerful dynasty to another--many changes have been made to its original Chinese text. And over the years, translators have offered versions of the Tao that reflect their personal interpretations of the work...
