So begins one of the most important spiritual books on the planet. The Tao Te Ching, the second most translated book in the world, was written by the father of Taoism, Lao Tzu. It contains a series of maxims, sayings, or truths, which are best absorbed slowly, over a period of time. Anyone with an interest in personal or spiritual growth should own a copy of this book. Its worth is immense.
