5.0 out of 5 stars The Most Faithful Translation of a Sacred Text to Date., May 12, 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: The Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu: A New Translation (Hardcover)
I have read many different translations of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching. Mr. Walker's translation opens up to the reader a whole new realm of Tao philosophy with beautiful, insiteful words which more perfectly capture the essence of Lao Tzu's thoughts and philosophy. Lao Tzu was one of the greatest philosophers and sages of our planet, and Mr. Brian Walker is the individual alive today who is most in tune with the ancient bodisatva's thoughts. This book is well worth the money as it comforts an individual in any possible situation. The wisdom of the Tao is eternal, and this translation of the Tao Te Ching captures its essence better than any other translation I have come across

4.0 out of 5 stars A fair translation., July 10, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu: A New Translation (Hardcover)
I was very pleased at the translation given to this book. I was rather pleased with this book by Walker, although the same feeling was not shared with his interpretation of the Unknown writings of Lao Tzu. I would adise, though that one should read MANY interpretations of the Tao Te Ching, and interpret each one unto himself
