  • He who knows other men is discerning;

    He who understands himself is intelligent.

    He who overcomes others is strong;

    He who overcomes himself is mighty.

    He who is satisfied with is rich;

    He who goes on acting with energy has will.

    He who does not fail in the requirements of his position, continues long;

    He who dies and yet does not perish, has longevity.

    Much of its original poetic qualities are lost through translation, but hope you can hear it in the video.

  • I can't imagine Lao Tzu looking like a buddhist monk ...

  • @Hoobifta you obviously need much to learn to understand Lao Tzu

  • @Hoobifta

    HaHa, you sure are off the mark.

  • But not all the time: Lao Tzu is right in some of his actions (they're the smart things to do, as follows): for one thing, he's right: you should live in nature and stay away from humans by being in places like mountains, humans are a poison, for another thing, you should be pacifist, for another, you shouldn't worship gods (I don't worship God, I just pray to him), however I disagree w his religion, however I agree with his hate for human beings.

  • It's OK to be a monkey: always desiring, always feeling, and being awed by your senses, and (a weird opinion) acting busy and learning in an intelligent way. Let the Tao go, go to Lao's grave and pull his brain out of his head and make a superintelligent robot with his brain inside (the thoughts won't exist). To understand the universe, use science, Taoism is not understanding the universe, it's a brat (Lao) who wants stupidity and corruption.

  • It is okay to be a monkey, a primitive ape-as Lao Tzu depicted as long as one co exist in nature peacefully as God intended.

    Never mind what he wrote above, Lao-Tzu wrote more than that and teach more than that.

  • except for the weird stuffs and the alchemy he is known for...

    like experimenting with virgin women upon his sex crazed moment, or experiment with other psychedelia.....

  • Lao Tzu...one of the greatest masters ever.

  • Not only does the Tao Te Ching represent wisdom among human beings, but it also mirrors the heavenly order of things in the universe.

  • What language was the Tao Te Ching written in? Mandarin? Is this video in Mandarin?
