About the book
The Complete Daodejing
In a true labor of love, renowned teacher Deng Ming-Dao presents a monumental new translation of the most revered Daoist teachings. By stripping away centuries of misinterpretation, Deng crystalizes Laozi’s original message: that we are innately worthy beings who can find fulfillment through simplicity, selflessness, and harmony with the Dao.
As ever, Laozi's teachings are eminently powerful, guiding us toward harmony in every aspect of life. Bringing his deep knowledge of Daoism to bear, Deng Ming-Dao offers unparalleled clarity to this ancient text, highlighting its teachings on virtue, the cosmos, and the wisdom of the feminine. Each chapter includes his original translations, word-by-word analysis, and detailed commentary. He includes historical context, etymological insights, and parallel passages to elucidate a comprehensive understanding never before rendered in English.
With this translation, The Complete Daodejing bridges history and mystical philosophy with practical guidance and the wisdom of the Way—with the text remaining just as potent today as it was thousands of years ago.
