The Tao Te Ching, written by ancient Chinese philosopher Laozi around the 6th century BC, explores the fundamental principles of the universe and the nature of existence. Translated by James Legge, a Scottish sinologist, this edition offers an engaging version of Laozi's timeless wisdom. Legge was one of the first Westerners to study Chinese culture and history, and his translation of the Tao Te Ching is one of the most widely read and respected versions in the English language. Laozi, also known as Lao Tzu, is considered one of the greatest philosophers in Chinese history. His teachings are the foundation of Taoism, one of the most important spiritual traditions in China. Laozi's work emphasizes the importance of living in harmony with nature and the universe, and the idea that true strength and power come from humility and simplicity. The Tao Te Ching is a collection of 81 verses that convey these ideas in a simple and profound way.

Excerpt from the book:The Tao that can be trodden is not the enduring and unchanging Tao. The name that can be named is not the enduring and unchanging name.(Conceived of as) having no name, it is the Originator of heaven and earth; (conceived of as) having a name, it is the Mother of all things.Always without desire we must be found, If its deep mystery we would sound; But if desire always within us be, Its outer fringe is all that we shall see.Under these two aspects, it is really the same; but as development takes place, it receives the different names. Together we call them the Mystery. Where the Mystery is the deepest is the gate of all that is subtle and wonderful.All in the world know the beauty of the beautiful, and in doing this they have (the idea of) what ugliness is; they all know the skill of the skilful, and in doing this they have (the idea of) what the want of skill is.

Das „Daodejing", entstanden zwischen dem 8. und 1. Jahrhundert vor unserer Zeitrechnung, ist eines der ältesten Weisheitsbücher der Menschheit. Die chinesische Sammlung von Spruchkapiteln enthält Gedanken und Sentenzen zur Kosmologie, zur Lebenspraxis und zur Staatslehre, die auf den „alten Meister" Laozi zurückgeführt werden, dessen Spuren sich im Dunkel der Geschichte verlieren. Der mystische, oft rätselhafte Text hat seine Anziehungskraft über die Jahrtausende hinweg bewahrt und Anlass zu zahlreichen Übersetzungen gegeben. Doch diese Übersetzungen weichen teilweise so stark voneinander ab, dass sie nur noch mit Mühe auf ein und denselben Ausgangstext zurückgeführt werden können. Jan Philipp Reemtsma, seit seinen Jugendjahren ein intensiver Leser des „Daodejing", legt auf der Grundlage dieser Übersetzungen einen ganz eigenen Versuch vor, eine Art philologisch wohlerwogener Coverversion, die vor allem durch ihre Frische und sprachliche Sensibilität überzeugt.

Das "e;Dao De Jing"e; ist Weltliteratur. Geschrieben vom "e;Alten Meister -Laozi"e;, ist es eines der altesten und bekanntesten Bucher dieser Erde. Und obwohl es dutzende Ubersetzungen und auch Kommentare dazu gibt, ist dieser Kommentar von Meister Jan Silberstorff doch vollstandig anders. Meister Silberstorff hat das Dao De Jing nicht aus seinem sinologischen Wissen heraus kommentiert, obwohl ihm dies sicherlich hilfreich war, sondern mittels seiner inzwischen mehr als 25-jahrigen meditativen Praxiserfahrung. Er ist einer der wenigen westlichen Meister, die sich diesen Titel wirklich verdient haben. Er praktiziert neben seiner internationalen Unterrichtstatigkeit seit Jahrzehnten uberwiegend in Stille und Zuruckgezogenheit das daoistisch gepragte Chenstil Taijiquan und buddhistische Meditation. Auerdem hat er sich der christlichen Mystik erlebter- und studierenderweise genahert. Sein Kommentar entspringt einer gelebten Erfahrung, keiner intellektuellen Uberlegung. Meister Jan Silberstorffs Kommentar zu Laozi's "e;Dao De Jing"e; ist deshalb weitreichender, verstandlicher und hilfreicher, da er den Bruckenschlag zwischen Ost und West, zwischen Herz und Verstand und zwischen Theorie und Praxis darstellt. Schon jetzt eines Meisters Werk.

Yet the gemlike lucidity of the original has eluded most previous translations, and they have obscured some of its central ideas.Laozi, also rendered as Lao Tzu and Lao-Tze was an ancient Chinese philosopher. He is the reputed author of the Tao Te Ching, the founder of philosophical Taoism, and a deity in religious Taoismand traditional Chinese religions.
