LOL. Not suited for all humans. It is PERFECT for EVERY human. If one did not laugh at the Tao, it would not be Tao.

Absolutely wrong. Tibetan Buddhism has its origins in Bon.

I am temporary in Texas. My next stop is another world to be determined yet. Good day to all. -PEACE-

The Taijitu, and more specifically, just the YinYang is mentioned I think only twice in the TTC. Why do you all think that LaoZi only spoke of YinYang twice in this volume of work?

My favorite versions : Red Pine Hua CHing-Ni Dan Reid, which includes Heshang Gong commentaries Yi Wu

I own Hoff's version. Its an ok translation. He bases his translation on that he self studied how to read CHinese and that the interpretations of some material by most people are wrong because in the era of when the TTC was written they did not supposedly speak and write like today. Hoff also claims he is one of a handful translators who actually are practicing Taoists. Huge claim I think. Lastly, in his notes on some chapters he has a tendancy to go on environmental social justice rampages. And many of his "facts" about the environment are flat out wrong and climate warming fear mongering.

You don't honestly believe TaiChi was invented around that time do you? I believe it is as ancient as the Yiching. It just wasn't transmitted in writing.
