WHERNTO: heedism erudite notions operate
A small book with many large ideas that are universally valid.
Taoist teachings have arisen in many forms: abstract
aphorisms, philosophical discussions, legends, fables—even jokes. All
are represented here, culled from the most popular Taoist classics: the
Tao-te Ching, Chuang-tzu, Huai-nan-tzu, and Wen-tzu, stories from the
“Tales of Inner Meaning,” and teachings of the Taoist patriarch Ancestor
Lu. The spirit of the Tao manifests in myriad images, brought to life in
this superb translation—from the ever-keen blade of a Taoist butcher to
the mechanical miracles of inventor Ken Shiwa, from little boys baiting
the great Confucius to mountain hermits disappearing in the mist, from
the six robber organs that obscure the primordial to the ineffable
mystery of mysteries.
