The
Lieh-tzu
is a collection of stories and philosophical musings of a sage of the same name
who lived around the fourth century BCE. Lieh-tzu's teachings range from the
origin and purpose of life, the Taoist view of reality, and the nature of
enlightenment to the training of the body and mind, communication, and the
importance of personal freedom. This distinctive translation presents Lieh-tzu
as a friendly, intimate companion speaking directly to the reader in a
contemporary voice about matters relevant to our everyday lives.
