Lao Tzu, who lived in China approximately 2600 years ago, tells us to seek that natural nameless state where there is peace and harmony. This book explores the way of Lao Tzu: the destination that Lao Tzu tells us to seek; the directions that Lao Tzu offers to help us to reach the destination; the problems that Lao Tzu tells us we will encounter trying to reach the destination; and finally the strategies that Lao Tzu offers to help us to overcome these problems and to successfully follow his directions. Quotations are new translations from the Chinese texts available today. All key words are linked to the original Chinese words together with their meanings and nuances, allowing readers to explore the full richness of the original Chinese words and to choose the meanings and nuances that they think better suit particular quotations. This book is part of the series 'Ways of the World' in which the teachings of the founders of different religions and philosophies are explored to determine: the destination that we are told to seek; the directions offered to help us to reach that destination; problems that we are told will hinder us on our way; and finally strategies that are offered to help us to overcome these problems, and to successfully follow the directions. This format not only helps to better understand each way, but also makes it easier to compare the various ways. Gary attempts to report the results of his explorations in an impartial manner and does not necessarily agree with every aspect of the way and its associated concepts and beliefs.
