Tao Te Ching (Full Vernacular Translation)

Let me tell you, my elementary school physical education teacher took us to recite the Tao Te Ching after running every day. . . He even took us to do Tai Chi together. . .

This book is the foundation of spiritual practice and a sharp tool for life. This is a unique book on spiritual practice in the world!

Laozi believes that the nature of Tao is natural inaction. Natural inaction is the fundamental law that governs all things in the universe and is also the basic code of conduct that human beings should abide by. Starting from the principle of inaction, Laozi opposes action, because action destroys the original nature and simplicity of people, causes the split of personality, and brings about various social evils such as hypocrisy, cunning, greed, and sin. "When the Tao is destroyed, there is benevolence and righteousness; when there is wisdom and wisdom, there is great hypocrisy; when relatives are at odds, there is filial piety and kindness; when the country is in confusion, there are loyal ministers." If there is Tao in the world, everything will happen naturally. Do not advertise benevolence and righteousness, but have benevolence and righteousness of your own. When benevolence and righteousness are flaunted, it means that benevolence and righteousness no longer exist. Therefore, Laozi proposed "to abandon deceit with absolute wisdom" and "to abandon advantage with absolute skill", advocating that "in a small country with few people, let the people have few weapons but not use them", "Although there are boats and boats, there is nothing to take them; although there are armor and soldiers, there is nothing to show them; let people knot the ropes and use them". This is a retro idea. In line with this social ideal, Laozi also advocates valuing the soft and the weak, and believes that "the strong is below and the weak is above." "No one in the world is softer than water, and no one can attack the strong first." He further advocates "the best is like water" and believes that the most perfect personality should have a mentality and behavior like water.

We should deeply understand Laozi's ideological realm of doing nothing, staying below, softness overcoming hardness, simplicity, and returning to nature. Laozi has profound dialectical thinking, and we should understand it carefully to improve our own realm of dealing with the world.

I have benefited a lot. The Tao Te Ching focuses on the invisible Tao in this world. In fact, it is an objective law that is not transferred by human will. If people act against the objective laws, they will only get pain and wasted effort. Virtue means respecting objective laws and acting in accordance with objective laws. This is called morality. As a human being living in the world, we should try our best to discover the laws of this world, pay attention to nature, observe human nature, respect ourselves and others, and respect our own consciousness and ideas.

Everyone must have heard of the famous Tao Te Ching, but the many ideas proposed by Lao Tzu and the various classical Chinese words and sentences he used when writing articles really add a lot of trouble to our reading comprehension process. This book provides vernacular annotations and translations of the contents of the Tao Te Ching, which adds to our understanding of the Tao Te Ching and is even more powerful. If you find it difficult to read the original text of the Tao Te Ching, you might as well give this book a try. It can bring you a new reading experience, and it will definitely bring you different insights and experiences.

Each chapter in the book is written and explained according to a five-step process of original classics, translations, famous annotations, golden classic interpretations and wisdom examples. The author seems to intentionally strive to reduce the difficulty of reading classics for modern people, and at the same time strive to stimulate the interest of readers at different levels in reading classics. There is also a sense of progression, so that every reader can selectively refer to the annotations of relevant famous figures in history and the author's classic interpretations based on understanding the meaning of the original text, and have something to think about and learn from the very down-to-earth classic cases!

Read positive books to increase your knowledge! Make people progress! Do things right and be a good person. This kind of life is great666

With him, you don't have to worry about not being able to read fantasy novels.

The annotations are quite good and spot on. Through listening to the lecture, I learned all the essence of the Tao Te Ching, which is very good!

It's my first contact, I have a lot of experience, and I still need to learn more. Also: The translation is good, and it is crucial for understanding and digestion.

This is a super-realm culture that cleanses people's spiritual cultivation. It's wonderful.

From a human nature point of view, there are many potential truths, and when placed in different places, they will show different results. Some people sneaked out to explore the outside world, but only one person survived. It is recommended that we need to be content with what we have. However, you will never know what the outside world is like until you go out. Things always have two sides. If you put them in different places, the results will be different. In the end, you will have to pay for your actions. Putting it back into your own life, there are decisions, big and small, with different results. Only after you try can you know the results you need and the person you want to be. Exploring more differences is ultimately the necessity of looking within.

After listening to 35 years old, I feel that many of them are applicable to the workplace. Whether you are a new employee or a small, medium or high-level manager, you should all benefit from listening to it. I'll take a closer look when I'm 40. Maybe there will be different opinions then. The various examples given by the author make difficult quotes easy to understand. Very strong!

This wonderful book passed down by Lao Tzu has been baptized by more than two thousand years, and its style is even better than before. Its gleaming simple dialectics, wise sayings and profound wisdom can still be refreshing and enlightening to read today. I can never finish reading the Tao Te Ching, because the ideas contained in it are so mysterious and mysterious that I always read them new. This full vernacular translation of the Tao Te Ching can help me improve my social skills and workplace wisdom, and help me improve my business and management methods. If you follow Lao Tzu's teachings in your conduct and conduct, I believe you will feel fulfilled, refreshed, open-minded, and in harmony with nature, heaven and earth. This book draws on the research experience of many famous people, including the master hermit He Shanggong, the young talent Wang Bi, the worldly master Zhu Yuanzhang, the master of Chinese studies Feng Youlan, the well-known scholar Fu Peirong, the great writer Wang Meng, etc. The format of this book is to first list the original texts, followed by translations, annotations, and selected annotations made by ancients, and then analyze them in detail throughout the text.

Very good! There are original texts, translations, evaluations, and ancient and modern examples. It is explained in simple terms and everyone can understand it.

I learned a lot from this book. Everything in the world has a cyclical pattern, and going too far is never enough. People's biggest weakness is always wanting to control everything and being eager for success. Learn to restrain desires, remain patient, recognize cycles, go with the flow, keep a calm mind, and achieve long-term stability.

This is a book for young people to read.

There are some negative and impractical things, and there are also some positive things, which should be treated dialectically.

Virtue cultivates people, Tao is not alone, existence and non-being, heaven and man are one...

There is a world of selflessness in my heart. I haven't thought of this sentence for a long time. I remembered that it had always been my motto when I was a child. As time went by, I gradually forgot about it. When I read it again, I suddenly found that it was very enlightening.

To be honest, I don't quite understand it. I also read the original text through the author's translation word for word! Moreover, what I realized was very superficial and far different from the author's! I have to read it several times before I can do it. I think I will have different insights every time. I read it over and over again, apply it to my life, and slowly understand the truth.

The lessons learned from the past will give future generations a lot of wisdom and wisdom! I have a deep feeling after reading this book

Real and objective, multi-dimensional description. Navigation of life.

In this era of fast food, perhaps not many people can watch it all once! Including me

If I could read the Tao Te Ching as a toddler, it would be better

I've been using it for three months, it's very good, and it's all free.

The truth of life cannot be overstated if you read it ten thousand times

My heart is penetrated by the X-ray of history, I am baptized by the holy water of the Tao Te Ching, and my eyes are guided by the light of wisdom. In the current stage of life, Fengyu himself dances into the sunset and reaches the other side of happiness.

Although there are not many words in the Tao Te Ching, if you want to fully understand it, you need to read it over and over again. Once you understand it, it will suddenly become enlightened! There are original texts, explanations, and cases! The author has a heart ❤️! For a beginner, I felt like this book got me started. You need to read it again and again to truly understand it. If my behavior and methods of doing things have changed, I have really learned [smile]
