The Tao Te Ching
I’ve just finsihed my second, slower read of Lau Tzu’s Tao Te Ching as translated by Stephen Mitchell. While pondering this short but rich (as in cheesecake) book, I thought of many things that would make great blog entries. I couldn’t decide on just one, so here is a preview of blog posts to come regarding and/or inspired by this ancient writing:
- The Tao Te Ching for programmers (Not to be confused with the Tao of Programming)
- A time for this and a time for that – One stanza of the Tao Te Ching that seems strangely similar to a book of the bible (and, by proxy a classic rock song)
- Is there a role for the “enlightend” in Politics?
- Lao Tzu – Adam Smith from 500 BC?
- A Quick Summary of the Tao – Not what you expect.
Meanwhile, I’ll be starting on my next book. It’s back to the western world for a while with Holy Silence: The Gift Of Quaker Spirituality
