What is Dao De Jing / Tao Te Ching?

Dao De Jing or Tao Te Ching, written by the ancient Chinese sage Laozi, is one of the most revered and influential texts in the world. Comprising 81 short chapters, this foundational work of Daoism explores profound concepts of the Dao / Tao (the Way) and De / Te (virtue or moral power), offering timeless wisdom on how to live in harmony with the natural world and the cosmos.

It is the second most translated book in the world, after the Bible, and continues to inspire readers with its deep philosophical insights and spiritual guidance. Despite its brevity, the Dao De Jing contains layers of meaning that are often hidden, and its teachings remain central to Daoist thought and practice.
