Dao De Jing: A Complete Commentary, Book 8 (Oriental Wisdom Series, Volume 1)

Dao De Jing: A Complete Commentary, by Mr. Liu Zhankui, a master of contemporary oriental wisdom and a spiritual practitioner of body-and-mind cultivation who has realized Dao, is one of the most comprehensive, thorough and wisdom interpretations of the Dao De Jing. This commentary is an encyclopedia to guide the readers on how to explore the nature and universe, how to understand the heaven, earth and all things, how to lift the biggest confusion about birth, aging, illness and death in life, and how to establish a healthy lifestyle and harmonious social relationships. Book Eight extends the commentaries on Chapter 29 to Chapter 37 of the original 81-chapter Dao De Jing with detailed interpretations and annotations. The author expounded that the body and function of Dao manifests its omnipotent power with all things obey to it because of its nameless (WU MING) and non-reckless-action (WU WEI) nature of simplicity (PU). He emphasized this as the reference standard to evaluate people and deeds as well as the principle of governing the country. This book also explained how to view and deal with wars that could lead a nation into life or death.
