Tao Te Ching
Each Chapter Explained
Lao Tzu (Lao Zi), the legendary writer of Tao Te Ching (Dao De Jing) left the Chinese emperor's court on a water buffalo, after growing tired of politics. He wrote the Tao Te Ching on the request of a guardsman at the border. Below is a translation and explanation, chapter by chapter. This is an ongoing work, so the chapters (81 in total) will be published as they are written.
