This review is from: Vegetable Roots Discourse: Wisdom from Ming China on Life and Living (Hardcover)
Just got this book through chance. It's a great read. I think the blurb in the book summed it up well when it said something about uniting the traditional buddhist and taoist values with the more confucian. It reads like confucianized tao te ching - lots of parables of wisdom but made more "real life" - thus a but more accessible to a casual reader as opposed to the tao de ching, which a more light reader may not be able to grasp.
I am very happy with the translation, although I do not speak chinese, i feel as if there was a lot of care put into it. Great book. great job by the translators.
