About the product — Lao-tzu — ancient Chinese philosopher of the 6th-5th centuries BC. e., the author of the classic Taoist philosophical treatise «Tao-Te Ching» — The text is presented with comments and explanations from Vladimir Malyavin, which most fully reveal the essence of Taoism — The edition is richly illustrated: inside a colorful flyleaf, engravings and colored canvases Abstract «Book about the path Life «Lao Tzu, called in Chinese» Tao Te Ching «, ranks second after the Bible in the world in terms of the number of foreign translations. The origin of this book and the personality of its author are shrouded in many legends, about which the famous translator Vladimir Malyavin tells in detail in his preface. The very word «Tao» means the path, and, at the same time, the path of the universe, life and human development. And «de» is the inner fullness of life, invisibly, but firmly binding all living things. Lao Tzu’s main secret seems paradoxical: to become yourself, you need to eliminate your private self; to have power, one must not desire it, and so on. And the secret of reading Lao Tzu is to comprehend that inner depth of meaning that wisdom inspires, revealing a different and opposite meaning in each judgment. Reading «The Book of the Way of Life» will be fruitless if it does not reveal the uselessness of abstract ideas, does not lead to a revolution in the very way of perceiving the world.
