All are represented here, culled from the most popular Taoist classics: the \u003ci\u003eTao-te Ching, Chuang-tzu, Huai-nan-tzu, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eWen-tzu, \u003c\/i\u003estories from the \"Tales of Inner Meaning,\" and teachings of the Taoist patriarch Ancestor Lu. The spirit of the Tao manifests in myriad images, brought to life in this superb translation--from the ever-keen blade of a Taoist butcher to the mechanical miracles of inventor Ken Shiwa, from little boys baiting the great Confucius to mountain hermits disappearing in the mist, from the six robber organs that obscure the primordial to the ineffable mystery of mysteries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Cleary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1570623708\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781570623707\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shambhala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.31h x 5.02w x 0.54d","brand":"Thomas Cleary","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986965168383,"sku":"9781570623707","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_617fb777-7eb9-4e49-89c0-0bf9ba87fa2c.jpg?v=1683286205","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-spirit-of-tao-thomas-cleary-9781570623707","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
