The Tao Te Ching is the founding text of Taoism. Over 2,500 years old, it is one of the greatest books ever written and made a deep impression on me personally. According to legend, the mysterious sage, Lao-tsu, supposedly wrote out the short book at one time before riding off // // to the west on the back of a ox. The book is a treatise on how to live in accord with the Tao, the source of all things. It is simple, yet profound,  ancient wisdom that is as relevant today as when it was written.
