El libro del Tao: El manga

by Lao Tzu, Daruma Serveis Lingüístics (Translator)

El Libro del Tao ha sido considerado la obra más bella de la antigua literatura china y el texto fundacional del taoísmo. Su autoría se atribuye a Lao-Tsé, que vivió probablemente entre los siglos VI y III a.C. Es un conjunto de proverbios y rimas que diseñan un comportamiento sabio para la un camino (llamado Tao) que no está ya trazado, sino que se hace al andar; como el curso del agua que depende del cauce por el que transcurre, el camino del Tao es la verdad subyacente e invisible que nos guía.

About the author

Lao Tzu (Chinese: 老子; pinyin: Lǎozǐ; Wade-Giles: Laosi; also Laozi, Lao Tse, Lao Tu, Lao-Tsu, Laotze, Laosi, Lao Zi, Laocius, Lao Ce, and other variations) was a mystic philosopher of ancient China, best known as the author of the Tao Te Ching (often simply referred to as Laozi). His association with the Tao Te Ching has led him to be traditionally considered the founder of Taoism (pronounced as "Daoism"). He is also revered as a deity in most religious forms of the Taoist religion, which often refers to Laozi as Taishang Laojun, or "One of the Three Pure Ones". Laozi translated literally from Chinese means "old master" or "old one", and is generally considered honorific.

According to Chinese tradition, Laozi lived in the 6th century BCE. Historians variously contend that Laozi is a synthesis of multiple historical figures, that he is a mythical figure, or that he actually lived in the 5th-4th century BCE, concurrent with the Hundred Schools of Thought and Warring States Period. As a result of being a a central figure in Chinese culture, both nobility and common people claim Lao Tzu in their lineage.
