Lok Sang HO Translation in book?

[Albion]

OK, here I am tip-toeing, I have a question for you........I found this website:

 

http://www.ln.edu.hk/econ/staff/daodejing(22%20August%202002).pdf

 

I CAN'T find this translation in *book form*, not even at www.amazon.com

 

Might you know if it is *a published book*.

 

I agree with you that it's a very good translation, but I need to buy a new ($40.00!!!) ink cartridge, and a whole load of copy paper to copy it from the above website.

 

It'd be way easier to simply buy it as a book.

 

Might you know where I could buy it from?

 

Thanks and Peace,   D.A.D.

 

 

P.S. After I posted this, the website of this particular TTC/DDJ, I discovered, is translated by Lin Yu Tang, not the person that I thought that translated it (Lok Sang HO).  

 

So, someone screwed up, and mixed up translators, it seems.

Here is Chapter 1 from Lin Yu Tang's TTC/DDJ: (So I certainly COULD be wrong that these two sources of the TTC/DDJ are one!!).

 

 

1

The Tao the can be told of 
Is not the Absolute Tao; 
The Names that can be given 
Are not Absolute Names. 

The Nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth; 
The Named is the Mother of All Things. 

Therefore: 
Oftentimes, one strips oneself of passion 
In order to see the Secret of Life; 
Oftentimes, one regards life with passion, 
In order to see its manifest forms. 

These two (the Secret and its manifestations) 
Are (in their nature) the same; 
They are given different names 
When they become manifest. 

They may both be called the Cosmic Mystery: 
Reaching from the Mystery into the Deeper Mystery 
Is the Gate to the Secret of All Life.

This seems correct to me.   Your first is a link to his full translation of the DDJ in PDF and the second a book with a collection of his translations.

 

A bare bones version is here:

The advantage of the PDF is his annotations and notes.

Dear Dao Friends,

 

  I got the Lok Sang HO book today, and his Dao de Jing has all of his study notes in it, this is (in my opinion) a great translation of the DDJ, well worth the price (around $30.00 U.S.), but it has ALL of his Daoist writings, and not just the DDJ. The Link to Amazon.com to his book is above.

 

Peace to all, Differently Abled Daoist

 

P.S. If you're older, you might need glasses to read the book's text though  ;-)  LOL  Like me!
