Plot

This translation of the Tao-te ching was made in 1963 by a Chinese scholar and professor of philosophy and religion. I believe I have checked out most other translations, and think this is the one to consider. It has a degree of precision and poetry not found elsewhere, and for those who want scholarship, there are notes, commentary and references. Consider these two passages: "For to praise victory is to delight in the slaughter of men"; and "The best (rulers) are those whose existence is (merely) known by the people."
