This blog is an interpretation of the Tao te Ching "Tao Virtue Book" which is attributed to Laozi "Lao Tze" a Chinese philosopher who lived circa 600 b.c.





Please remember always that this is the description of the Tao and not the experience of the living Tao. Hopefully, this blog will not serve as analysis or commentary but as a window into the Tao. You are encouraged to disagree with this interpretation, involve yourself in self-study, and ultimately leave all concepts behind and so experience the living Tao.

All three of the translations of the Tao te Ching that I use can be found at Yellow Bridge.

The Rambling Taoist is a fun little blog run by some Taoist friends of mine.  I've received many useful tips on Blogging from them.  Thanks guys!

Taoism.net is a great web site that covers a lot of aspects of Taoism.  You can sometimes find me hanging out in the Tea Room, their forum.

Here's the Wikipedia article for those of you looking for a lot of words that may or may not actually describe Taoism.

The BBC also keeps a section on Taoism on their webpage. 

Beliefnet is an interesting website in general and their information on Taoism in likewise interesting.  Their "The Tao of Elvis" is original and entertaining.  Be warned, they have those pop up adverts. like Yahoo uses.

Like Beliefnet, Patheos.com looks at all faiths including Taoism.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/tao/index.htm keeps a largish collection of writings on Taoism.  These are often hard to find so it is nice that they are collected here.

One of the few Taoist Temples outside of China is near Boston and is run by Alex Anatole.  I don't know much about their work but their website is here.  Tao.org

Here's an English and Chinese translation of the Tao te Ching
