Chuang Tsu

Inner Chapters, A Companion Volume to Tao Te Ching

De: Gia-Fu Feng - translator

Narrado por: Chungliang Al Huang

Brilliant, mystical, pragmatic, and witty, Chuang Tsu has been called the world's first anarchist by some. Even 2,000 years after his death, his provocative Taoist text remains in the forefront of ancient Chinese philosophical study. An essential sourcebook in the Taoist canon, the sublime prose of this spiritual classic provides a profound and paradoxical commentary to the Tao Te Ching.

Supreme audiobook!

Would you listen to Chuang Tsu again? Why?

The performance is worth a million dollars. The guy really put a lot of energy into the act and you can tell just from the sample. The chinese language and music cuts are excellent and everything about the audio is perfect. Of course Chuang Tsu is an amazingly fun philosopher also.

What other book might you compare Chuang Tsu to and why?

I think I own all of the audio books for Lao Tsu's Tao De Ching and I say narration by Jacob Needleman is best and I would recommend it to anyone who is getting into this taoist stuff.

Something weird in the recording.

I might be not getting it, but the "Echo" audio effect is frustratingly distracting. Hope it is just an odd technical issue.

Great book

I recommend this to those of you who want more out of life truths and mysterious journey

Exceptional performance

it captures the souls journey and opens the minds .
Thank you for sharing.

Peace

Exceptional narration

Each listen goes deeper.
The mind of a perfect man is like a mirror.
It grasps nothing. Expects nothing. It reflects but does not hold. Therefore the perfect man can act without effort
Chuang Tsu

The Laughing Philosopher

A perfect accompaniment to Lao Tse from the master of paradox and relativity illuminating the Truths of The Tao with dreams, jokes and stories, adding Lightness to Enlightenment!

Love this version!

I love this narration! You hear the Chinese and then the English translation, which really flows well and makes you appreciate the heritage of the text.

Helps direct real understanding ofTao Te Ching

Would you consider the audio edition of Chuang Tsu to be better than the print version?

The reader is absolutely phenomenal in this! It helps you really get into the stories

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Listened to in one sitting and then again several times!

Great philosophy, Chinese pronunciation not clear

Great philosophy, Chinese pronunciation not clear, and would be great to have a handout with the original text and thoughts.

Incredible Wisdom with an even more incredible Narrator

This book is powerful. The stories and lines contain insight that continues to provide deeper and deeper revelations as one listens again and again. Yet somehow it is the narrator who elevates a text that is already filled with ancient wisdom. He incredibly seems to know how to emphasize and act out the stories. His choices in the reading give each line life in a way that is rare in audiobooks. I truly mean this when I say he may be the best narrator I have ever listened to in an audiobook.
