Here in the first episode of a new five-part series we take a close look at one of the world’s most influential wisdom texts the Dao De Jing (Tao Te Ching). Allegedly written by Lao Zi (Lao Tzu) (551-479 BCE), these 81 "chapters" or verses form the core scripture of Daoism. In this video we read and explore chapters 1-11.


In this video I'm using the Stephen Mitchell translation from Harper Perennial, New York, 1988.
