🔽 Book review and notes 🔽
The book of Taoism written in 400 BCE.
This edition is very short, with the translation and short commentary for each passage.
It's said to be written by Laozi around that time, but there's an ongoing argument about if it was written by him, or if he actually even existed.
It makes more sense now that Japanese Buddhism turnout out to be different from the original version, the antient Chinese philosophy is very strong and great.
With the Chinese filter, of course it's evolved by the time it got to Japan.
It's something to come back to time to time in life, with more knowledge for sure.
(I don't have BCE in the published year so I just added this to 1-1699)
