Tao Te Ching

Yielding with Integrity Lao Tzu

Beschreibung

A joy to read this gem-like treasure of the Tao Te Ching is accessible, inclusive, poetic, and insightful. The Tao is an invitation to be in the flow of life in harmony with all beings and all things. This new version encourages us to begin from stillness and simply respond from an inner calm, quiet, and intuitive listening. Our innate sense of knowing through not-knowing is much needed in today's world. Discover how grace and ease most often appear by yielding to Lao Tzu's much cherished wisdom. "Cristina Viviani's inviting new translation of the Tao Te Ching captures both the simplicity and the complexity of these ancient teachings. In language that is clear, accessible, and possessed of a warmth sometimes lacking in other translations, Viviani's Tao Te Ching honors both the poetry and the philosophy of Taoism's central text." -John Brehm, author of The Dharma of Poetry "Beautiful and wise." -Dr. Alberto Pérez-Gómez, Emeritus Professor, Profesor Honoris Causa "I'm completely smitten! Loving this translation (even though Stephen Mitchell's has been my long-time favorite). I'm delighted to read and be immersed in this profoundly beautiful creation and integrate the wisdom and beauty the Tao brings. Now, I'm looking forward to holding this book in my hands and keeping it close by." -Moni Vangolen, Stillness Facilitator

Autor

Cristina Viviani was born in Santiago, Chile. She grew up immersed in translation speaking Spanish, German, English at home and French in high school. In 1985 she studied architecture in Kyoto and returned home to face severe culture shock. Very little of the Western world made sense in relation to the life perspective she experienced in Japan. Since then, one version or another of the Tao Te Ching has been her guide, sanctuary and companion. Cristina holds a Bachelor of Architecture and a Master of Fine Arts. She is a Reiki Master and the author and photographer of the book Tafoni, Natural Design of Weathered Stone. Her poems have appeared in literary journals, including The Canadian Journal of Poetry and Critical Writing, The Fiddlehead, Room, Event poetry and prose, and Emerge. Cristina is an observer, inquirer and explorer of what it means to be human in this miraculous, unfolding universe. Online you can find her work at www.cristinaviviani.com.
