Chuang Tsu: Inner Chapters Paperback – November 4, 2014

This was a favorite from my twenties, which was great to discover could be given as a gift again.

Love these

Disappointed after a a great experience reading other books by this author.

While the Tao Te Ching is considered to be the foundation work of Taoism, I find the Chuang Tsu to be much more accessible. At over 2000 years old, this book addresses the human condition in a way that holds meaning even today. It is filled with tales that entertain on the surface while lodging deeply into your consciousness to chip away at your cultural conditioning. Save yourself a trip across the world looking for a guru . . . buy this book instead and take it along for a hike in natural surroundings. When you settle down in a comfortable spot, read the Chuang Tsu and see if it doesn't speak to you.

Inner Chapters is a must read for anyone interested in Taoism. This particular translation is poetic and easy to read. It's a natural companion to "Tao Te Ching" by Lao Tsu.

....and another able translation by these poetic and grounded authors, this time of the wisdom of Lao Tzu's greatest student.

As a reader of the original translation by Gia-Fu Feng since publication in 1974, I can offer that this book is an enlightened, fulfilling and wholly heartening look at the times and spiritualism both Chuang Tsu and we live in. I recommend it highly for those whose spirit looks beyond our contemporary travails and limited perspective.

My hubby was delighted to find this on Amazon so I bought it for him and he is delighted.

Like their Tao Te Ching, perfect.The 2 most beautiful books i own...

Great book

Love reading the Tao Te Ching. The pictures resonated like poetry.
