**Tao Té Ching is ancient China's great contribution to the literature
of philosophy, religion, and mysticism.
**
Tao Té Ching contains the time-honored teachings of Taoism and brings a
message of living simply, finding contentment with a minimum of comfort,
and prizing culture above all else.
This is the lauded translation of the eighty-one poems constituting an
Eastern classic, the mystical and moral teachings of which have
profoundly influenced the sacred scriptures of many religions--and the
lives and happiness of countless men and women through the centuries.
