The Tao Te Ching, along with the Zhuangzi, is a fundamental text for both philosophical and religious Taoism. It also strongly influenced other schools of Chinese philosophy and religion, including Legalism, Confucianism, and Buddhism, which was largely interpreted through the use of Taoist words and concepts when it was originally introduced to China. Many Chinese artists, including poets, painters, calligraphers, and gardeners, have used the Tao Te Ching as a source of inspiration. Its influence has spread widely outside East Asia and it is among the most translated works in world literature • 道 tao/dao literally means way , or one of its synonyms, but was extended to mean the Way . (It is really pronounced 'Dao' in China, but I've kept with the western pronunciation as the Wade Giles pin yin is used in the copy I read from). This term, which was variously used by other Chinese philosophers, has special meaning within the context of Taoism, where it implies the essential, unnameable process of the universe. • 德 tê means virtue , personal character , inner strength (virtuosity), or integrity . The semantics of this Chinese word resemble English virtue, which developed from the Italian virtù, an archaic sense of inner potency or divine power (as in healing virtue of a drug ) to the modern meaning of moral excellence or goodness . Compare the compound word 道德 (pinyin: dàodé; Wade–Giles: tao⁴-tê²), literally ethics , ethical principles , morals or morality . • 經 ching as it is used here means canon , great book , or classic . • Support me here: https://linktr.ee/VoxStoica • This Translation online: https://terebess.hu/english/tao/gia.html • This Translation Amazon: http://geni.us/TaoTeChing_FungGiaFu (affiliate link) • An Alternative popular translation: http://geni.us/TaoTeChing_SMitchell (affiliate link) • This is my own recording of the text, if you would like to donate to support me you can use any of the following means: • 0:00 Start • 00:14 One • 00:52 Two • 01:47 Three • 02:21 Four • 02:49 Five • 03:19 Six • 03:37 Seven • 04:01 Eight • 04:40 Nine • 05:07 Ten • 05:59 Eleven • 06:27 Twelve • 06:54 Thirteen • 07:42 Fourteen • 08:39 Fifteen • 09:37 Sixteen • 10:38 Seventeen • 11:05 Eighteen • 11:31 Nineteen • 12:12 Twenty • 13:30 Twenty One • 14:14 Twenty Two • 15:07 Twenty Three • 15:59 Twenty Four • 16:38 Twenty Five • 17:36 Twenty Six • 18:10 Twenty Seven • 19:05 Twenty Eight • 20:03 Twenty Nine • 20:47 Thirty • 21:43 Thirty One • 22:53 Thirty Two • 23:35 Thirty Three • 24:06 Thirty Four • 24:46 Thirty Five • 25:11 Thirty Six • 25:43 Thirty Seven • 26:14 Thirty Eight • 27:37 Thirty Nine • 28:56 Forty • 29:12 Forty One • 30:18 Forty Two • 31:03 Forty Three • 31:27 Forty Four • 32:00 Forty Five • 32:33 Forty Six • 33:04 Forty Seven • 33:29 Forty Eight • 33:58 Forty Nine • 34:37 Fifty • 35:25 Fifty One • 36:14 Fifty Two • 37:01 Fifty Three • 37:40 Fifty Four • 38:36 Fifty Five • 39:33 Fifty Six • 40:10 Fifty Seven • 41:04 Fifty Eight • 41:48 Fifty Nine • 42:31 Sixty • 43:01 Sixty One • 43:52 Sixty Two • 44:38 Sixty Three • 45:31 Sixty Four • 46:52 Sixty Five • 47:31 Sixty Six • 48:11 Sixty Seven • 49:11 Sixty Eight • 49:38 Sixty Nine • 50:22 Seventy • 50:55 Seventy One • 51:16 Seventy Two • 51:45 Seventy Three • 52:30 Seventy Four • 53:04 Seventy Five • #Taoism #TaoTeChing #daodejing
