Introducing a new translation of Laozi’s classic work that makes the intimidating approachable and the complex comprehensible.

Translated by best-selling author Ken Liu and read by acclaimed actor B.D. Wong, this new take on the Dao De Jing speaks directly to the sensibilities of a modern audience. Liu dispenses with footnotes and the granular details of academic debate in favor of presenting Laozi’s invaluable writing as clearly and colorfully as possible.

For those familiar with Daoist philosophy, Liu’s Dao De Jing provides a streamlined text and fresh interpretation from a veteran translator. For newcomers, Liu unpacks Laozi’s parables and meaning-rich language with an eye toward the work’s illuminating power.

The Dao De Jing has captivated thinkers for thousands of years. Now, Ken Liu’s accessible prose makes it accessible to scholars and neophytes alike.

Dear Listener,

What was it like translating this classic work for audio?
"As a writer of stories about the future, I’ve always believed in the power of storytelling for good. During the pandemic, however, I suffered a crisis of faith. All around me, lies passing as truth were the most popular stories, a testament to the power of storytelling for ill. Hoping to find a way out of the darkness, I began to read the Dao De Jing, a classic I simply assumed I knew through quotations and fixed expressions. It was nothing like I expected.
In the Dao De Jing, Laozi doesn’t comfort, persuade, or offer solace. He simply makes observations about Dao, the path of providence, of grace, of life itself. You can take his words or leave them; it’s all the same to him. He’s not trying to sell you anything. Yet, in that refusal to confront, to judge, to direct, Laozi did give me solace. What can be more comforting than to have a conversation with a mind that has transcended mortality, a voice that has survived the ages? The more I read, the more I wanted to argue, to contend, to dispute, and then, later, to yield, to accept, to imagine. I began to see the shape of my own life, the questions that opened seams, the patterns that pooled and shimmered.
Meanwhile, a record of my conversation with him could be set down. All translations are, ultimately, a reflection of the translator’s trials to discern the spirit of the text within its shadowy mirror. This book merely makes that struggle obvious instead of hiding it, a foolish honesty that I think Laozi would appreciate." -Ken Liu, translator of Laozi's Dao De Jing

Adds back value to a masterpiece of spiritual and literary writing which I will never get a chance to read without translation. A line in to the world of translating and writing. Well researched and deeply felt crafting both as a book and as an audiobook experience. Ken Liu has not hoarded the treasure of his journey, but given it to us.

Does honor to a timeless masterpiece

You should definitely check an official translation or two or three out not just this one. This however, does give a good added perspective to the writing. I feel like it was worth the time to listen.

Worth reading.

A very balanced explaination of the philosophy and method of translation. I have a sense of an extrememly authentic and faithful translation of the spirit and matter of the text.

Authentic Explaination of the philosophy and text.

Wat makes this translation of Laozi's famed philosophical work special is translator Ken Liu, an extraordinary writer in his own right. His commentary is as engaging as the most excellent Ted Talk.
A Daoist life is not entirely attainable but I don't think anyone should beat themselves up over that. It's more a process. Reading from the Dao De Jing (or Tao Te Ching) is like checking yourself, a reminder to let go of your ego.
It also parallels a lot of religious beliefs--and is largely compatible with them.

May be the best introduction to the Dao De Jing

I am not Chinese, nor am I a Taoist.

In fact, before listening to this translation I was wholly unfamiliar with the Taoist philosophy. I am, however, a huge fan of Ken Liu - his writing, his translating, and his thought process in general (watch interviews with him - they are fascinating).

And this was a really thought-provoking and relaxing listen. BD Wong's narration is perfect, and I plan to revisit this again.

Highly recommended for those with an open mind who want to hear new perspectives in a comfortable way.

Peaceful Contemplation

what I liked best was the fact that it was easy to understand and the person reading the book to got the annunciation correct at least it sounded that way to me. the author of this book gives you a different way to say the title of the book which seems to be more accurate or authentic than the regular annunciation Tao or Dao. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did. and it's free on Audible doesn't get much better than that.

it was an easy breakdown of the subject.
