Lao Zi's Poems (large print)

The Chinese philosopher Lao Zi wrote two-and-halve thousand years ago the brilliant book Dao De Jing, which means literally-A Classic about the Way of Nature and the Way of People. That ancient book contains eighty-one poems of extraordinary depth describing a natural way of living that provides long-term success with minimum effort-The Way of Nature has no favourites. It is always with the competent people [79]. The theme of his poems is to maximize your success, which is to obtain what you seek and escape what you suffer [62]. You maximize your success by aligning the Way of People with the Way of Nature-Have a long life through a lasting regard for the Way [59]. Manmade climate change is only one of many consequences of ignoring Lao Zi's wisdom. His superb poems form a bridge across the deep fault lines that are created and maintained by nationality, ideology, religion, race, and greed. The present book comprises an extract from (Schade, Lao Zi's Dao De Jing Demystified, 2017, pp. Meta-translation version).
