The Tao Te Ching for those who want to understand the Tao Te Ching!



The Tao Te Ching is one of the most popular books in the world! Only the Bible is translated and published more. Many people buy different translations hoping to finally stumble upon the one that is clear, practical, and applicable to their lives. This is the translation you have been searching for!

Understanding is silent.
Ignorance and indifference never shut up.
If you want to know,
You'll keep from talking.
If you want to talk,
You'll keep from knowing.

Shut up!
Keep quiet!
Still your tongue!
Let go of your need to be right!
Put a lid on your smug intellect!
Stop wandering down the worn-out path of certainty,
But travel down the unfamiliar road of not knowing.

When you know,
You don't know.
When you know that you don't know,
You begin to know.
You can understand,
But you don't understand.
When you know that you don't understand,
You begin to understand.
