• not what it purports to be
  I was brought to this kindle version of the Tao Te Ching from the text only version of the Jane English translation. This version is *not* that translation. It's likely a translation that can be found for free on the net. Whispernet was down when I tried to send a sample so I opted to go ahead and purchase it because it was linked as if it were the kindlized version of the translation that I know I like (I used to own it but wore the paperback out). So, I'm out the money and I can't figure out how to ask... more info

• I haven't found a better translation yet!!!
  I've seen translations that say God instead of Tao, ones that are extremely wordy and overly spiritual, ones that make it seem very political and not spiritual at all. But this translation seems to have a balance between the five fingers of the Tao, is very direct without losing the paradoxical nature of the teachings. Highly recommended.

• Simple, cheap....no suffering (-:
  Sample the taoic tradition and a nice price so your wallet
  doesn't go thru samsara.

• a very useful beginning
  a good beginning, though not in itself the answer. this book points one toward the way. the way is within oneself. this book if practiced will show you your ego... perhaps for the first time (as in my case), very effectively and therefore it is extremely valuable. the psychology of the Tao Teh Ching is profound, but still i say only a pointer. this book and way is best followed when one begins to see that many of the answers lie deep within oneself.
  i personally am not convinced by the interpretations... more info
