"Reading [Le Guin's] translations is like taking a shared walk down
a familiar trail where we discover rocks and water that we somehow
missed before . . . undeniably refreshing, capturing a language
that is casual and clear, reflective and pointed, full of the wise
humor of the Way."--Parabola "A student of the Tao for several
decades, Le Guin has created an English text that will speak to
modern readers in a fresh and lively way, while conveying the
humor, insight, and beauty of the original."--Shambhala Sun "The
Tao Te Ching was written about 2,500 years ago yet its wisdom
remains pure and inspiring."--Light of Consciousness
"Ursula K. Le Guin's translation of the Tao Te Ching is a personal
and poetic meditation. Through her own careful study of these
ancient teachings, she brings the Way into contemporary life. Each
day, I open this book at random and receive a contemplative gift.
These words are akin to water in the desert."--Terry Tempest
Williams, author of Refuge
