The Daodejing (also spelled Tao Te Ching), written in the 5th Century BCE, is the classic of Taoist philosophy and one of the most important texts in world spiritual literature. In his only visit to San Diego this year, Ken will explore multiple dimensions of this fascinating work, including the legends and core principles of harmony and peace. And most importantly, based on his knowledge of classical Chinese, Ken will unravel the secret code that reveals the Tao Te Ching as a guide to meditation, health, and longevity. Please bring a translation of the Tao Te Ching to class. Most recommended, “Lao-tzu’s taoteching by Red Pine” or “Tao Te Ching” by Gia-Fu Feng.
