Whether you are new to the Dao De Jing or have followed its teaching for decades, this book offers a fresh perspective on living in harmony, joy, and transcendent self-realization. Although steeped in decades of study, Galen Pearl does not offer analysis or explanation of the Dao De Jing, but rather shares the insight and transformation gained from engaging directly with the timeless beauty of the truths therein. The poetic translations, engaging reflections, evocative photos, and inspiration drawn from the Chinese characters invite you into your own contemplative relationship with this classic text. Mystical in concept, practical in application, these 81 chapters bring ancient wisdom into modern times. Allow the beauty of words and images to sing in your soul and guide your steps. You already know the tune.
