Audiobooks by Lao Tzu

"The Tao Te Ching, traditionally attributed to the ancient Chinese sage Laozi, is a foundational text of Taoist philosophy and one of the most translated works in world literature. Composed of 81 concise chapters written in poetic verse, the book explores the nature of the Tao (the Way)—a fundamental principle that underlies all existence—and how to live in harmony with it. Through paradox, metaphor, and simplicity, it teaches the virtues of humility, non-attachment, and effortless action (wu wei), offering timeless guidance on leadership, personal conduct, and spiritual insight. This edition, translated by James Legge, presents the text with scholarly precision and reflects a classical, 19th-century English style, making it a valuable resource for students of philosophy, Eastern religion, and world literature."

[Spanish] - Tao Te Ching

"Este audiolibro está narrado por una voz digital. Narración completa del Dàodé Jīng (道德經) de Laozi, también conocido como Tao Te King, una de las obras más influyentes y veneradas de la filosofía y espiritualidad china. Este libro constituye la base del taoísmo filosófico y tuvo una fuerte influencia sobre otras escuelas, como el legalismo y el neoconfucianismo. El texto se atribuye a Lao Tse, un sabio archivista de la corte de la dinastía Zhou (1046-256 a. C.), también conocido como Lao-Tse, Lao Tzu o Laozi (‘Viejo Maestro’). El texto original se encontró en antiguos manuscritos en bambú, seda y papel. La obra consta de 81 capítulos breves que abordan temas profundos y atemporales relacionados con la naturaleza del Tao (el camino o la realidad última), la virtud y la manera en que los individuos y gobernantes deben vivir y actuar. En China la filosofía de la naturaleza y la visión del mundo están impregnadas del pensamiento taoísta y así muchos artistas, pintores, calígrafos y hasta jardineros han usado este libro como fuente de inspiración. Su influencia se ha esparcido también más allá del Lejano Oriente, ayudada por las muchas traducciones diferentes del texto a lenguas occidentales."

The Sayings of Lao-Tzu: An accessible narrative prose translation of the Dao De Jing

"A prose translation of the Tao that focuses on bringing out the subtlety and depth of the classic Way. Translations of the famous Way and Virtue (Dao De Jing/Tao Te Ching) focus on the poetics and depth of the original. In contrast, Giles’ translation focuses on telling stories with the text, drawing out the nuances in a way that is more familiar to Western audiences from philosophical and religious texts. “Few can help being struck by the similarity of tone between the sayings of Lao Tzu and the Gospel enunciated six centuries later by the Prince of Peace. There are two famous utterances in particular which secure to Lao Tzu the glory of having anticipated the lofty morality of the Sermon on the Mount. The cavilers who would rank the Golden Rule of Confucius below that of Christ will find it hard to get over the fact that Lao Tzu said, 'Requite injury with kindness,' and 'To the not-good I would be good in order to make them good.' It was a hundred and fifty years later that Plato reached the same conclusion in the first book of the Republic. It is interesting to observe certain points of contact between Lao Tzu and the early Greek philosophers. He may be compared both with Parmenides, who disparaged sense-knowledge and taught the existence of the One as opposed to the Many, and with Heraclitus, whose theory of the identity of contraries recalls some of our Sage's paradoxes. But it is when we come to Plato that the most striking parallels occur. It has not escaped notice that something like the Platonic doctrine of ideas is discoverable in the 'forms' which Lao Tzu conceives as residing in Tao. But, so far as I know, no one has yet pointed out what a close likeness Tao itself bears to that curious abstraction which Plato calls the Idea of the Good.”"
