Nei Ye study

Recommended Posts

Please note that there's a new topic started up in the Tao Te Ching category. I'm going to be posting chapters from the Nei Ye, written around 4th century BCE, translated by Harold Roth. I'll post a chapter every few days - it looks like it could be pretty nice for discussion.

 

This is similar to the TTC but different in some interesting ways. It seems to go much more into the inner cultivation dynamic than the TTC. It talks more specifically about how the Sage got to be the Sage.

I love this book! For one thing I think it predated TTC showing that Lao-Tzu was not the creator of Daoism.

 

I have the book and I'd be interested in contributing to the discussion, albeit in a small way because I don't have a deep grasp of a lot of things that are in the book.

 

If anyone wants to pick up a copy it's available at Amazon.
