The True Eastern Philosopher's Translator
I found the Tao te Ching in 1960. I have read the writings of Chuang Tzu and the poets and of course, the translations of The Hua Hu Ching, The Tao Te Ching and The I Ching. Suffice it to say I have a full bookcase filled with these wonderful books.Some translators just don't get it. Brian Browne Walker is one who really understands these texts and his translations are authentic, beautiful, and so clear and simple. This translation is my very favorite of The Hua Hu Ching and I hold it closely to me. When I discovered the further teachings of Lao Tzu (The Old Sage) I was thrilled and I went through many many books.If you are interested in the I Ching or the Tao te Ching (or both) -- give yourself a great gift like Brian Browne Walker's translation of any of these texts. I own several forms of this book, Kindle, IPhone app and iPad app. Enjoy it and find the peace that is The Way. You won't regret it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Arguably better than the Tao Te Ching
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2020
Verified Purchase
It's unfortunate that this text is relatively "unknown" compared to the Tao Te Ching. Though it invokes the same familiar themes, the Hua Hu Ching completely avoids the clever, esoteric wordplay found in the Tao Te Ching and instead delivers a much more practical and personal lesson that feels more like a teacher than a text, and strikes me as offering a comparatively more approachable entry point for those unfamiliar with, but otherwise interested in, Taoism. I think those already familiar with Taoism are likely find this narrative to be surprisingly fresh and maybe even more sublime in a few places than they might expect, especially if, like me, they have made a habit of collecting numerous translations and interpretations of the Tao Te Ching. So, my advice is don't overlook or underestimate this text!

5.0 out of 5 stars Filled with insight and clarity in plain language
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2003
Verified Purchase
Despite the gleeful denunciations by the polemicists below, this is a fine book for almost anyone interested in the wisdom, if perhaps not the historic interdenominational hijinks of ancient Taoist sects.
Master Ni Hua Ching should be applauded for encouraging a contemporary and accessible rendering of the texts. This is a brilliant distillation that demystifies the often confusingly literal translations that leave the reader to stumble through linguistic indecision.
This book offers up the meaning we all want. It's an honest work presented in good spirit that any well-intentioned reader will appreciate. Clearly rendered meaning is humorously and joyfully presented.
Don't miss this treasure.

3.0 out of 5 stars Diluted Taoism
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2018
Verified Purchase
The book is good in itself but for me it describes a diluted kind of taoism. The "pure" taoism of the tao-te-ching mixed with ideas from budhism, internal alchemy and some religion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful translation of Lao Tzu's teachings.
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2015
Verified Purchase
I've read and re-read Lao Tzu over the years; he simply "speaks" to me on a deep level. Some of my favorite sayings of this great spiritual philosopher are found in this version of Lao Tzu's teachings. They can settle my mind while bringing me to deeper realizations and understandings of my life. I read this book by simply picking it up and flipping to a random page - whatever I find there is perfect.
