Is there a place to discuss Daoist web sites?

[Mark Saltveit]

Hi, I have a new blog that various Bums might find interesting. I don't see a place to discuss websites though (as opposed to books.) Does anyone have a pointer?

 

It's called 'Taoish -- a place for irreverent spirituality'. http://www.taoish.org The latest post is an analysis by Prof. Steve Bokenkamp (Arizona State) of the difficulties in translating the Daodejing, using a single line of chapter 10 as an illustration.

Thanks!

nice article

Thanks! Steve's great. Years ago (1993), he wrote a famously sarcastic FAQ on Daoism that you might enjoy.

“What’s the best translation of Chuang-tzu?”

 

So far as I know, and I may be wrong, Chuang-tzu never translated

anything. He was too busy dreaming of butterflies and trying to

deconstruct his own death.

I was laughing for a long! LOL)))))

 

Among the works that Lao-tzu translated, his translation of the _Bhagavad Gita_, with the
Chinese title “Tao-te ching,” remains far and away the best. If
you don’t believe me, a humble scholar, just read Victor H.
Mair’s translation into English of Lao-tzu’s translation into
Chinese of the _Bhagavad Gita_.

I'm waiting for the completely historically inaccurate, Hollywood Blockbuster Movie "Dow-Ker-ching"

Good idea. I just started one in General Discussion.
