The Scripture on Tao and Virtue (Tao De Jing): Escritura sobre Tao y Virtud

By: Lao Zi

The main themes of the Scripture on Tao and Virtue include the Taoist ideals of living in non-contention, non-interference, and non-conformity. The text underscores these three ideals (virtues) by teaching people to live in appreciation of life, in harmony with nature, and in awareness of the inner spirit.The Tao De Jing has been an immensely popular work, in both Chinese and English, for several reasons:Lao Zi's words strike a deep chord within the reader, as they express a truth about life and spirituality that people can recognize but are unable to articulate on their own.Lao Zi makes clear that females are not only equal in society but, in many ways, superior to males. Other philosophical and religious systems seem to always put women into an inferior role, but Lao Zi does not adhere to that perspective.Lao Zi adamantly advises people to avoid contention, violence, and war. His stand against violence, he states, is the "father of his teachings."This multilingual book presents the Tao De Jing in Chinese (with Pinyin pronunciation), English, and Spanish--making it accessible to more people, as the work was not meant for just the Chinese. It resonates globally with people of every culture. This work will be a welcome and valuable addition to anyone's library of Eastern philosophical literature.Los temas principales de la obra son los ideales tao?stas de vivir en no-contenci?n, no-interferencia, y no-conformidad. El texto enfatiza estos tres ideales (virtudes) ya que ense?an a la gente a vivir en apreciaci?n de la vida, en armon?a con la naturaleza, y en consciencia del esp?ritu interior. El Tao de Jing ha sido un trabajo inmensamente popular, tanto en chino como en ingl?s, por varias razones: Las palabras de Lao Zi tocan un punto profundo dentro del lector ya que sus palabras expresan una verdad sobre la vida y una espiritualidad que todos reconocen, pero nunca pudieron precisamente articular. Lao Zi deja bastante claro que la mujer no es solo un igual en la sociedad, pero en muchos casos superior al hombre. Otros sistemas filos?ficas o religiosas tienden a poner a la mujer en un rol inferior en nuestro mundo. Lao Zi no se adhiere a esa perspectiva. Lao Zi firmemente le aconseja a la gente a evitar la contenci?n, la violencia, y la guerra. El declara que su posici?n contra la violencia es "el padre de sus ense?anzas." Dentro de este libro multiling?e, se provee el Tao De Jing en tres idiomas - chino (con pronunciaci?n Pin Yin), Ingles, y espa?ol logrando que esta obra sea asequible a m?s personas ya que este trabajo no fue hecho solo para los chinos. Tiene mucha resonancia global con gente de todas las culturas. Este trabajo ser? una adici?n valiosa a la librer?a de literatura y filosof?as asi?ticas.
