Tao Te Ching

The Tao has created a place for you.

You were born to dwell in it.

The Tao has created a path for you.

Your purpose is simply to follow it.

Lao Tzu, Chapter 82 of the Tao Te Ching

With these clear words, Lao Tzu cuts through the complications and distractions of everyday life and begins to reveal a new way forward, a life of contentment and intention. Considered by many to be the pinnacle of Chinese philosophical texts, the Tao Te Ching is among the most translated and interpreted books in world literature. Chapters 82 through 100 of this influential classic will challenge and encourage you to:

• See through the illusions that separate you from other people, nature, and the universe at large.

• Embrace the abundance that surrounds us; to realize that what you are truly grasping for, you already have.

• Act without expectation, without judgement, accepting what your actions bring.

• Express yourself freely in thought and action, to become what you are called to be in every moment.

• Find a place of calmness and stillness, which lies beneath the surface of busyness, doubt, and fear.
