It was so lovely. I even saw a dog run towards it and stop and adopt the classic "Pointer" stance. It was completely in awe. I was like, OMG, doggo, don't look, your eyes will turn to stone!
It's Stephen Mitchell. He is the one who rewrote/interpreted the Tao Te Ching from Mandarin to English. This is his version of the book, and he is also narrating it here.
How are we supposed to believe that yes predates Christianity but on the number 46 talks about tractors and trucks being built in contractor means? Genuine question.
Does anyone know what book version he is reading from? This is by far the simplest and easiest text to comprehend and soak into. I have bought the books a couple times but they are worded differently and makes it hard to read. Please let me know what version this is read from. I would like to have a book copy as well

This is a book that teaches people to be lazy ,incompetent, unfulfilled too soft and tolerant, self centered, and to stand for nothing doesn't sound like an ideal way to live for a purpose it's also pagan the universe doesn't have a mind of itself doesn't act on its self bc the universe is a creation not the CREATOR
I found out when I actually applied these things, that the truth is not a given. You cling to your own ideas. Good luck with that, see how it ends up working out for you. You'll suffer much.
@truth6242 😂😂😂nah bc the words are just empty it basically tells what i just said be lazy and not do something and be nothing when you don't stans for nothing and don't take action ans tolerate everything u stand for nothing
I agree with the guy above. I wish everyone could experience what joy actually feels like but it cannot be comprehended in 3D thinking. Clinging to ideas will cause more suffering. But I understand how everything isn’t for everyone. Peace be with you on your journey.

The translation and the reading is just beautiful. Also using the pronoun “she” really makes me relate to the teaching even more. So grateful for all of this. 🙏♥️🪷

Is this only available as an audio book? I so appreciate his version especially deciding to use “she.”
No, it's available as a book too. It's the Stephen Mitchell translation!
Upset about the remake? Put this at 0.9 speed and it's basically the same as the original before it was remade.
How to put it in 0.9? I can only choose 0.75 & 1
Why was the previous video withdrawn from Yo tube?
You gotta view it on a PC or put it in desktop mode in browser not in app. Mobile YT can't do 0.9
This is what I needed to know. Something is not right with this

Please explain in verse 46: how can there be mention of tractors, which weren't invented when this text originated?
It's probably a modern translation for a word in Chinese like a plough. Those are very old.
The book is a poetic translation in modern verbiage. It's not a direct translation. Their are other versions on TH-cam like that those are good too...
I might be wrong but sounds like the person who is reading is Taiwanese.
😂 that's your question about this video? Lol
Same question here. Also 'warheads' etc. Sounds very different from other translations
Is this a book that can be ordered?
I think it is the Stephen Mitchell translation.
Why the revision, it was unnecessary
