Tao Te Ching

The Tao, a system of thought over two thousand years old, proposes a non-violent way of being in the world in which the individual, instead of conquering all that exists, becomes a channel for universal energy and accepts that their place is within nature, not against it. The "Tao Te Ching," or "Book of the Way and of Virtue," teaches —to those who are willing to listen and be touched by its mystery— simplicity, the balance of complementary elements, detachment, stillness, and trust, which is commitment and surrender to one's own path; each person's own path, yes, but one that, if traveled well, will lead to the "great path" in which everything and everyone is involved.
