A deluxe paperback edition: Thomas Cleary's brilliant translation of the sayings of Confucius presented in the order of the 64 classic I Ching hexagrams.Amazon.com Review
Thomas Cleary presents original translations of the twoancient Chinese texts that describe the essential philosophy andpractice of the Tao, or "universal way." The Tao Te Ching,Lao-tzu's classic anthology of sayings, poems, and proverbs, appearshere in its entirety; Cleary's excellent, detailed notes to each ofthe 81 stanzas illuminate the more difficult verses and unfamiliarideas.The first seven, or "inner" chapters of the Chuang-Tzu, thosecontaining the essence of the Taoist master Chuang-tzu's teachings,are also presented, with accompanying notes explaining the philosophyand significance of the symbolic stories. Readers already acquaintedwith the two texts will find renewed enjoyment in the directness andsimplicity of Cleary's translations, which are particularly pleasingto modern ears while losing none of the nuances of the originals. Thewell-known opening lines of the Tao Te Ching, for example, aregiven new life: "A way can be a guide, but not a fixed path;names can be given, but not permanent labels." And there is aclarity in the passages from the Chuang-Tzu not often found inother interpretations: "Who knows the unspoken explanation, theunexpressed Way? Among those who do know, this is called the celestialstorehouse: we can pour into it without filling it, we can draw fromit without exhausting it; and yet we don't know where it comesfrom." The subject matter of both texts ranges widely, frompolitics and economy to psychology and mysticism, addressing the needsand interests of a diverse readership. No less relevant today thanwhen they were written more than 2,000 years ago, there is a"perennial currency" to these writings achieved by few ofthe world's great books. Cleary's readable introduction and notesprovide an elegant frame that complements the quiet grandeur of theseimportant texts. --Uma Kukathas ... Read more

translate it yourself!
What I recommend to anyone who wants to learn about Taoism is: start by translating the Tao Te Ching yourself!

That may sound absurd but it's not as difficult as it seems. You can go on-line and find the Chinese text with a click feature which directs you to the dictionary entry for each character. You can also find a website that has literally 50 or more different English translations, so you can pick 6 or 7 to display simultaneously, then compare your own reading of the characters with the various translations. And of course you don't have to translate the whole thing. Some sections are more famous and canonical than others. (Frankly, some of them seem to me to be pure mystical gobbledygook!)

What you'll find is a rather remarkable diversity among the translations. You'll immediately appreciate how much subjective interpretation goes into translating. You'll see that some of the translators stick to more literal readings, whereas others indulge in quite fanciful interpretations which sometimes bear only a tenuous relationship to the literal text. Some translations are more poetical, others try to recapitulate the terseness and brevity of the original. There's one for every taste!

Cleary's translation often tends to be of the more fanciful variety. When you see how many translations are already extant, it's clear that there's not much need for yet another one, so maybe he was trying to justify his effort by finding some original perspectives. Maybe he succeeded! You can decide for yourself.

Ultimately, it's a matter of taste. You can make up your own mind which translation you like best. Maybe it'll be your own translation. Why not?

Book - Tao Te Ching
Shipping was fast!
My only complaint is that the book was described as "like new", and it was perfect, except the dust jacket was misaligned on the book. It's really not that big of a deal, my boyfriend still loves his Valentine's Day gift. I just wish I would have been aware of this instead of finding out when I received the book.
Other than the discrepancies between the product description and the actual product, I am happy with my purchase.

a horse of a different color
Most Western (and Eastern) studies of the Daoist texts translated in this volume have been limited by reference to an extremely small range of expository commentary.In these translations, of an altogether different stripe from the familiar, Cleary makes use of commentarial traditions hitherto unknown to Westerners, as well as to Easterners unfamiliar with the Quanzhen school of Daoism.Western scholarship in this area has been limited by preconceptions based on solipsistic, nihilistic, or fatalistic views of so-called 'philosophical' Daoism, as well as by overly simplistic concepts of Chinese grammar and vocabulary. Therefore what is known of this tradition in the West has been restricted by its sources and suppositions, while the enormous range and variety of native Chinese interpretations has largely been untouched.It is not to be wondered, therefore, that Cleary's extraordinary new renditions of these works, informed by Quanzhen Daoist tradition, are found enlightening by those unafraid of enlarging their views, while irritating to those who require reassurance.

Probably very close to the authentic Tao Te Ching
Of the three translations/versions of the Tao Te Ching, and commentaries on it, that I have read to date, I recommend Cleary's. Some readers complain that Cleary's translation isn't as 'readable' as other translations of the Tao Te Ching. Stephen Mitchell's translation is more popularly admired, but this says more about readers than the integrity of the respective texts. Reason suggests that a close and accurate translation should indeed sound foreign and awkward to 21st century Western hearers. Cleary is highly regarded for his scholarship of ancient Chinese texts, and his translation also includes the Inner Teachings of Chuang Tzu, with commentary/notes on both texts.

The Tao Te Ching is a well-known battery of apparently counter-intuitive assertions, overwhelming contrary to materialist / consumerist / modernist assumptions, sometimes opaque and generally suggesting a need for scholarly commentary. Again, Cleary seems to be a trustworthy guide, dispassionate and well informed.

The Inner Teachings of Chuang Tzu are more fanciful and perhaps somewhat less interesting, but in part underscore one of the Tao's thematic threads, that of knowing and not-knowing:
"What is more, there is a great awakening, after which we know this is a grandiose dream. Yet fools think themselves to be awake. . . Even my saying you are dreaming is a dream too. This kind of talk is called extremely strange . . . Suppose I have a debate with you, and you beat me, I don't beat you--does that mean that you are actually right and I am actually wrong? If I beat you and you don't beat me, does that mean I am actually right and you are actually wrong? Are both right, or both wrong?"

I won't feign any personal expertise or intimate knowledge of Taoism, but merely observe what seems fairly obvious to me--this volume is a sound "initiation into the heart of Taoism through the authentic Tao Te Ching and the Inner Teachings of Chuang Tzu."

Mixed feelings about this one
Cleary is a very popular translator, and I assume it is because his scholarship is solid . I appreciate his choices of subjects for books and always want to learn from him, but I have a problem. I can't understand his translations well. This may be a purely personal mental quirk of mine, but when I read him I understand the words just fine but not the meanings. Or I understand basically, but still scratch my head, especially reading his Chuang-tzu. I will assume this is a fluke within my own head and not a problem of the author (though I have no such problem with any other author/translator).
What I like about this book is that it Cleary has chosen to deal with two essential Chinese Taoist classics together: the Tao Te Ching and Chuang-tzu. Further, he provides essential interpretations of Taoism in his commentaries.I read this cover to cover, but it was only because I am a disciplined reader; If I think the content is important (as with this book) I will concentrate and finish it even if it gets tedious or the translation leaves me bewildered in many places. ...

A stimulating concise overview of the essentials of Taoism.
Philosophical Taoism, although an extremely profound system of thought, is not especially complex.Unlike Advaita Vedanta, for example, which revels in complexity and has a very extensive Sanskrit philosophic terminology, Taoism is much more straightforward and there are few technical terms for the student to wrestle with.

Its two main texts, the Tao Te Ching and Chuang Tzu, can be read quite easily by anyone in unannotated bare-text versions such as those of Lin Yutang and John C. H. Wu.Most of what these texts have to tell us will be clear enough - though a lifetime could be spent pondering some of it - and most readers will probably be content to remain with the texts.

For those, however, whose curiosity has been aroused, and who would like to know something of Taoism's historical and philosophicalcontext and to read a brief scholarly analysis of its key ideas, I doubt there could be anything better than the present book by French Sinologist Max Kaltenmark.

Originally published in 1965 under the title 'Lao tseu et le taoisme,' it's a small book of just 158 pages and has been beautifullytranslated into clear and vigorous English by Roger Greaves.After a brief Introduction we are given separate Chapters on Lao Tzu, The Teaching, The Holy Man, Chuang Tzu, and The Taoist Religion (the magico-religious system which should not be confused with philosophical Taoism proper).The book is rounded out with a brief Conclusion, a Selected Bibliography of both English and French sources, and an Index.

Professor Kaltenmark tells us in his Preface that, because oflimitations of format, he was "forced ... to deal almost exclusivelywith essentials" (page v).His book, in consequence, provides us with a concise but wonderfully readable overview of Taoism, in both its philosophic and magico-religious manifestations, and nothing of real significance seems to have been overlooked.

In addition, the book is considerably enriched by its many striking and well-translated excerpts, not only from Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu, but also from commentators such as Ho Shang Kung and other less familiar sources.Kaltenmark's is one of those books that oneconstantly returns to.I'm pretty sure that you would enjoy it too. ...

Product Description
Applying the ancient yet timeless 81 principles of Taoism to parenting, The Tao Of Parenting features instructive anecdotes from four families to demonstrate how Taoist teachings help parents raise good, healthy children. The stories are just as diverse as the families who tell them (a blended family featuring children from separate marriages, a couple with different cultural and ethical backgrounds, a single parent of twin boys, and a couple with different parenting techniques learning to compromise). Some of the Taoist principles used by these families include:* "Do Not Think of Self".Shows the rewards parents receive by making their children their number one priority* "The material is fleeting, the spiritual is everlasting". Demonstrates the rewards of caring for those in need* "Do Not Be Authoritarian".Shows how to foster self-reliance and responsibility in children while supporting their efforts, rather than controlling their every move* "Follow the middle road; it is the heart of knowing". Offers the benefits of parents being neither too permissive or too strict, but rather adjusting the rules for each child and each circumstanceThere are many more valuable lessons in this special book which can be used by parents of all faiths to help guide their lives and those of their children. Amazon.com Review
Greta Nagel, author of TheTao of Teaching, turns the spotlight of Taoist wisdom on theseemingly insoluble problems of parenting. As in her previous book, thetext is divided into 81 chapters, like the Tao Te Ching itself.Each chapter has a heading from the Tao, followed by a page or so ofexplication, and these passages in turn are followed by real-lifeillustrative stories from four families Nagel interviewed. The familystories help to flesh out the philosophical bones, showing how realindividuals solved (or sometimes failed to solve) their problems. As youwould expect from a book based on Lao-Tsu, there is great emphasis oncalmness, flexibility, listening closely to others and respecting your owncapacity for common sense and good judgment. The whole exercise will seem abit earnest to some people, but the format is user-friendly, and the basiclessons (e.g., "Tranquility is more important than perfection" and"When you don't know, say so") deserve repetition. Especially byparents. --Richard Farr ... Read more

Product Description
In its rich evolution from antiquity to present times, Chinese religion has encompassed manifold religious expressions. Taoism is one facet of Chinese religion, and exemplifies particularly well the variety of beliefs and practices that humankind has adopted and experienced in the search for answers to both ultimate and proximate questions about life and death. This book explores the different pathways Taoism took in that search, touching at many points on the other interrelated facets of Chinese religion in Confucianism, Buddhism and popular religion. The mystical, philosophical traditions of Taoism are analysed, as well as the more colourful and overtly religious strands of Taoism. ... Read more

Excellent book for an introduction to Taoism
This was an excellent introduction to Taoism. Fowler does not give too many straight quotes from Chinese doctrines (Tao Te Ching, etc), but instead gives you a wonderful "bigger picture" idea of what these ancient doctrines are expressing. This is a perfect book for someone who is looking to self-educate in the ways of Taoism. Highly recommended for all age groups and academic levels.

The author, Jeaneane D. Fowler is "the dean of religion and spirituality for the Continuum of Humanist Education, the online school of the Institute for Humanist Studies" with a doctorate in Semitic languages. She is also an "Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Wales College, Newport, in South Wales, U.K. She was formerly head of the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at the University." She's written many books on various religions and philosophies, but she apparently doesn't rely on and/or can't read any primary Chinese sources in this book. Instead, she relies on secondary sources, not all of them very good. ... Read more

Product Description
Confucius (551-479 BCE) taught a moral wisdom that would become a predominant social force in China from the second century BCE until the mid twentieth century. Confucianism does not teach a central doctrine that a God or gods should be worshipped, but it does embrace a system of ritual and emphasizes humanistic virtues and values. Daoism is both a philosophy and a religion, seeking a life and a mind in harmony with nature. Yin and yang, the essential opposites, are seen as fundamental principles of the universe in many religious and philosophical discussions.

The Religion, Scriptures, and Spirituality series describes the beliefs, religious practices, and the spiritual and moral commitments of the world’s great religious traditions. It also describes a religion’s way of understanding scripture, identifies its outstanding thinkers, and discusses its attitude and relationship to society. ... Read more

perfect for the westerner.
at 28, i decided to start researching eastern religions a little bit to see if i identified with any of them.this book is the perfect starter to that path.it dapples with the basic principles and education.great for those that are curious about eastern relgions in any sort of way.

GREAT BOOK! Recommended
I highly recommend this book as INTRODUCTORY material. It is an OVERVIEW of the BUDDHIST, HINDU, TANTRA & TAOIST paths.. A very good one, I must say, as David Pond also won a COVR award under "best new Eastern book" if I do remember myself, at INATS (International New Age Trade Show).. I HAD to get it! While it does not go into too much depth about Buddhism (not covering the samsaric wheel, spiral path, etc) it provides necessary introductory material, along with the other Paths' information. I would definitely recommend this book; what an asset, especially to the Pagan or Eastern mystic's library! :)

Western Seeker Eastern Path
Loved the book! The previous reviewer must not have read the preface and introduction.The book gives a wonderful overview of the Eastern philosophies. It doesn't intend to be an in depth study of any. The Author has wisely listed other books for that at the end of the chapters. I for one wanted to have an idea of the workings of each of these Eastern Paths and decide which one or ones-- I might want to pursue further. The book was a tremendous help, giving all of the basics and then some. It wasvery enjoyabe. interesting and easy to understand.
I am going to start trying some of the meditation and yoga techniques that were described so well.
This book should be on everyones shelf that is interested in knowing the basics in Buddhism,Hinduism,Taoism and Tantra.
It is a fantastic Reference Book.
Kudos to Mr Pond. Thank You.

Great introduction to Eastern philosophies
The world of Eastern philosophies can be intimidating when you are just getting started. This is a book I had always wished existed, a title that looks at dozens of branches of spiritual and religious ideas in short chapters. David Pond, who has a Masters of Science degree in Experimental Metaphysics, writes Western Seeker, Eastern Paths. He examines Buddhism, there's more than one kind. Learn the basics of Hinduism, where there is more than one god...so many more! There is also more than one kind of yoga, and he gives you a brief introduction of other forms. I had been cautious of getting a book on Tantra, fearing if I left it out on a table people might think I was studying sex magic. Tantra, as with the other topics, has more than one level. This book showed me that although there is such a thing as Tantric sex, Tantra is a different topic on its own. Tantra is explained as a "path of constantly expanding awareness." Each chapter ends with a few quotes to ponder, and then a wonderful in-depth suggested reading list to further your knowledge. The Tao te Ching, Tibetan Book of the Dead, or Bhagavad Gita are great works, but where does one start when you begin the Eastern path? You start with Western Seeker, Eastern Paths-it will definitely help you find directions in your learning. ... Read more

Product Description
The emergence of Taoism during the 3rd through 8th centuries as China's indigenous higher religion affected all areas of culture. This volume, one of a pair by Paul Kroll (its companion dealing with other aspects of medieval Chinese literature and cultural history), brings together twelve studies by this leading scholar of medieval China which illuminate selected aspects of Taoism in texts dating to this period and also considers its influence in the works of the great T'ang-dynasty poet, Li Po. Included here are essays on the proto-Taoist poem "Far Roaming" from the 2nd century B.C., on gods, goddesses, paradises, and poetry of the momentous Shang-ch'ing revelations of the 4th century A.D., and on Taoist figures from the T'ang dynasty. The author's writings on Li Po are well known, and several articles included in the second half of the book examine Li Po's personal connection with religious Taoism and his use of its specialized imagery. The volume concludes with a study focusing on the influence of earlier writings on Li Po's famous poem "The Road to Shu is Hard", and with an extensive monograph on his use of Buddhism in his poems and inscriptions. ...

Product Description

At the core of Daoism are ancient ideas concerning the Way, the fundamental process of existence (the Dao). Humans, as individuals and as a society, should be aligned with the Dao in order to attain the fullness of life and its potential. This book presents the history of early Daoism, tracing the development of the tradition between the first and the fifth centuries CE. This was an era of political instability and social turmoil in China but it was also a period of cultural efflorescence, which saw the appearance of new forms of literature and the integration of Buddhism in Chinese society and culture. Several Daoist movements emerged during this period, the best known being the Celestial Masters in the second century. Other relatively well-known lineages include the Upper Clarity and the Numinous Treasure lineages that appeared in the fourth century. The labels applied to these lineages refer to either textual or ritual categories and are very difficult to determine socially, and they obscure the social reality of early medieval China. The author argues that these lineages should be understood not as schools but as narrowly defined associations of masters and disciples, and he describes these diverse social groupings as "communities of practice." Shedding new light on a complex and multifaceted phenomenon, the formation of Daoism as a new religion in early medieval China, this book presents a major step forward in Daoist Studies.

Excellent overview of Taoism
The author presents Taoism in it's historic entirety, spanning from it's origins to the present. He presents the various forms of Taoism, their founders and histories, as well as some of their practices. For a short book, it packs a lot of information. However, this does seem like an abbreviated version of Eva Wong's Shambala Guide to Taoism.

starts very well but becomes clearly sectarian
This started very well.It's worth reading, a good overview of how taoism developed, lucid explanations of some of the more arcane/theological ideas (like "the three pure ones").It's accessible but still scholarly.

But then, when he gets to internal alchemy, he suddenly shifts into an obviously sectarian point-of-view with several fanatical opinions that he starts passing off as some sort of ultimate truth.For example, he basically says anyone, even a chinese, who is in the west operating under the title "taoist master" is by definition a fraud.That one would have to go to the far east and spend many years looking for a real master among the lonely mountain crags, blah, blah, blah.In other words, this holy practice isn't for the likes of you and me, brother and sister.I read later that this guys is some kind of initiate into a particular taoist sect.

I can think of two people from the east who are operating as taoist masters in the west: Master Ni Hua Ching and Mantak Chia (both of whom offer books through amazon) and are very well respected.

My question is: through what omniscience does mr. Wildish claim to know about every master living in the west?Is he saying if he and his friends don't personally know the man or woman, they must be no good?This is ridiculous.

That mars the book seriously.If you are trying to write as a scholar you should also adopt the rules of scholarship and stick to what you can know and leave the sectarian baloney to other people.

Still, if you can put up with that sort of thing, it's worth reading.

Pretty good for such a small book...
Wildish does an admirable job of trying to convey the history, development and basic principles of Taoism in this very slim book.He has used Eva Wong's material as his main source - this is evident by his use of "ching" as opposed to the more 'standard' "jing" found in many Taoist texts.He also uses dates found in Wong's books.

The book combines a useful blend of history and philosophy to convey the general ideas behind Taoism.There are also some short sections on external and internal alchemy including some very basic information on Qigong.

This is far superior to "Simple Taoism" and would be a good starting point for someone who is curious about Taoism.The next step would be Wong's work and perhaps Schipper's "The Taoist Body". Grigg's "The Tao of Zen" has some great historical work as well.

Mr. Wildish tried to give a decent introduction to Taoism.
Mr. Wildish TRIED to write an introduction to Taoism, but he made several errors.

Page VII: The Author states "Taoism predates christianity by 400-500 years.

Taoism goes back more than 5,000 years. Predating both Judaism, and the offshoot religion "christianity".

Page 4: "The legendary Yellow Emperor is regarded as a founding father of Chinese civilization, and is said to have lived between 2697 and 2597 BCE."

These dates are in error (about 200 years before the birth of the Yellow Emperor) The Yellow Emperors treatise on internal medicine was allegedly written in 2445 BCE.

Page 17: Mr. Wildish misnames one of the three treasures as Ching. The three treasures are Jing, Ch'i, and Shen.

Page 98: Mr. Wildish misnames the Conception, and Governing Qi vessels as the Directing and Tu meridians. Qi Vessels and meridians are NOT the same.

If you want to study Taoism; please see my Taoism listmania list, or even better; buy a copy of "The Shambhalla Guide To Taoism" by Eva Wong; Two Bears.
