has anyone the tao teh ching by lao tzu? personally i've found it to be much more spiritually guiding and uplifting than any other religious text i've found so far.

I got it too. Great book even if I find some parts difficult to understand. Taoism is so simple it's difficult.

It's quite possible the only religious text that laughs at itself and remains absolutely dignified.

I read it a few years ago when I was taking a world religions class. We were assigned to read parts of it, but I actually found it very interesting and ended up reading most of it on my own time.

Though I found it interesting to read, I dont mean to imply that I bought in to it a whole lot. Though I would say it is definitely worth a read if you find the time, it hasnt really made much of an impact on my life.

Tao te Ching, ftw!

It gave me bad excuses for not doing my english homework.

It is a good read.

I found it by reading A Million Little Pieces. I only read it because I was bored and I found in laying in the house and it had the work fuck a fuck lot in there.

also good are: "the way of chuang tzu" and "the book of lieh tzu".

I think taoism is the philosophy I feel closest too.

Many Hindu, and Eastern books of spiritual philosophy are "great".

A Million Little Pieces is a good book. Oprah got all pissed off about it because it wasn't completely true. The guy exagerated a lot of things and completely made up others. I never expect a novel to be a complete factual account of someone's life story.

I read and still frequently read passages of the Tao Te Ching. It is a very interesting philosophy. There is alot more to Taoism that I would like to know about.
