The way of the Tao is one of peace - of serenity, meditation and inner contentment. For centuries the followers of the Tao have drawn strength from its great wisdom, its faith in the laws of the universe, and its rare gift of turning the negative into the positive. Although the origins of Taoism lie long ago in the mist of time, its philosophy of contemplative calm is more relevant, in today's busy world, than ever before. Bringing the wisdom of the great Taoist thinkers into the 21st century, this little volume contains some of their most profound words, offering insight and advice on a wide variety of different areas. This book of spiritual enlightenment should be of interest to those who seek comfort, inspiration or simply refuge from the chaos of modern life.
