A new translation + commentary of the Daodejing by Liu Ming has recently been published and is available for purchase at http://www.dayuancircle.org
Observing Wuwei :: The Heart of the Daodejing - Liu Ming, 2016
From the introduction:
From the editor's notes:
The translations of the verses themselves are quite succinct, clear and impressive. As a comparision, Jonathan Star's translation of verse 1 contains 180 words. Liu Ming's translation contains 77.
As impressive, if not more, is the utterly unique commentary. I'd recommend this version for those alone. On the whole, I greatly enjoy this translation. It's as practical as is it beautiful.
