The Tao Te Ching | Sayings of Lao Tsu | Taoism

The Tao Te Ching is a Chinese classic text written around 400 BC and traditionally credited to the sage Laozi (Lao Tzu, Lao Tsu) ☯️

The Tao Te Ching is a fundamental text for both philosophical and religious Taoism. It also strongly influenced other schools of Chinese philosophy and religion, including Legalism, Confucianism, and Chinese Buddhism, which was largely interpreted through the use of Taoist words and concepts when it was originally introduced to China. Many artists, including poets, painters, calligraphers, and gardeners, have used the Tao Te Ching as a source of inspiration. Its influence has spread widely out and it is one of the most translated texts in world literature.
