translated by James Legge [1891]
66,099 bytes
The Tao te Ching is one of the most widely read sacred texts, due
to its simplicity and depth.
It appeal is universal, and has been found relevant by
Christians, Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, and even Quantum Physicists.
Attributed to Lao-tzu, (580-500 B.C.), it may predate him by several
centuries. The earliest known manuscripts of the Tao te Ching
date to the third century B.C.
