老子《道德經》位列中國思想經典名作，闡述「道」的玄妙思想，使讀者能在生命中保有平和、寧靜與圓融的修養。作為與孔儒齊名的中國哲學流派，在今日，《道德經》依然能帶給我們良多啟發，提供一個謙遜與自我克制的生活實踐，幫助人們過上平衡的生活，開放心智、解放思想，並達到覺悟與自我認識。這本書強調平靜、簡單、純粹和無為的生活方式，為現代繁忙生活提供了一個長久安定的避難所。
這次全新的翻譯版本，旨在將《道德經》作為日常生活的指南來理解，並鼓勵讀者進行緩慢且冥想式的閱讀。這本書的八十一章簡短而精緻，並附有深刻的註解、詮釋、詩歌，以及相關學者和文學家對於《道德經》的看法，包含人類學家瑪格麗特·米德、小說家勒瑰恩和哲學學者韋恩·W·戴爾博士。另外，書中特別收錄精美的中文書法，闡釋「道」的核心精神。
The original mindfulness book, in a landmark new translation by the award-winning translator of the I Ching and The Art of War
A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition, with flaps and deckle-edged paper
The most translated book in the world after the Bible, the Tao Te Ching, or “Book of the Tao,” is a guide to cultivating a life of peace, serenity, and compassion. Through aphorisms and parable, it leads readers toward the Tao, or the “Way”: harmony with the life force of the universe. Traditionally attributed to Lao-tzu, a Chinese philosopher thought to have been a contemporary of Confucius, it is the essential text of Taoism, one of the three great religions of ancient China. As one of the world's great works of wisdom literature, it still has much to teach us today, offering a practical model based on modesty and self-restraint for living a balanced existence and for opening your mind, freeing your thoughts, and attaining enlightenment and self-awareness. With its emphasis on calm, simplicity, purity, and non-action, it provides a time-tested refuge from the busyness of modern life.
This new translation seeks to understand the Tao Te Ching as a guide to everyday living and encourages a slow, meditative reading experience. The Tao Te Ching's eighty-one brief chapters are accompanied by illuminating commentary, interpretation, poems, and testimonials by the likes of Margaret Mead, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Dr. Wayne W. Dyer. Specially commissioned calligraphy for more than two hundred Chinese characters illustrates the book's essential themes.
