The enduring wisdom of the Tao Te Ching can become a companion for your own spiritual journey.

Reportedly written by a sage named Lao Tzu over 2,500 years ago, the Tao Te Ching is one of the most succinct―and yet among the most profound―spiritual texts ever written. Short enough to read in an afternoon, subtle enough to study for a lifetime, the Tao Te Ching distills into razor-sharp poetry centuries of spiritual inquiry into the Tao―the "Way" of the natural world around us th

Tao Te Ching: Annotated & Explained (SkyLight Illuminations) by Derek Lin,Lama Surya Das Book Review

Name: Susanna Hutcheson
Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars
Title: A superior translation of this powerful book
Date: Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2009
Review: There is no rigorous peer review of Tao Te Ching translations. In this translation, every Chinese character is linked to an English word or phrase. It is translated by Derek Lin.

When read side by side with other translations, you might feel you're reading two different books altogether. The translations of this wonderful book vary greatly. The need to keep as close to the original as possible and, at the same time, make it easy to read and understand the meaning is a difficult need to fulfill. But this translation does a great job.

Eastern sacred texts, like eastern thought, is the polar opposite of western thought. The Chinese think of the individual only in relation to the collective. In the west, we tend to think of the individual as more important. Indeed, that's the basis on which America was founded.

So, it's hard for many westerners to understand, much less apply, the Tao (pronounced DOW) in their own lives. There are parts of it that I simply can't come to grips with myself.

Note: In each passage I quote, I'll give you the translation from the translation by Gia-Fu Feng and Jane English first, followed by the Lin translation. Be aware that the latter has full annotations and explanations on the facing page. The former does not.

One such passage that bothers me is:

The Tao of heaven is to take from
those who have too much and give to
those who do not have enough.

Man's way is different.
He takes from those who do not have
enough and give to those who already
have too much.

What man has more than enough and
gives it to the world?

Only the man of Tao.

Therefore the sage works without
recognition. He achieves what has to be done
without dwelling on it.

He does not try to show his knowledge.

===================

The Tao of Heaven
Is like drawing a bow
Lower that which is high
Raise that which is low
Reduce that which has excess
Add to that which has deficiency

The Tao of Heaven
Reduces the excessive
And adds to the deficient

The Tao of people is not so
Reducing the deficient
In order to offer to the excessive

Who can offer their excess to the world?
Only those who have the Tao
Therefore, sages act without conceit
Achieve without claiming credit
They do not wish to display their virtue.

This translation says the art of archery is a metaphor for "hitting the target in life."

Moreover, this translation does not put the socialist emphasis on the text but translates it into a more pleasing way and one with which I can agree and understand --- that makes more sense to me.

The actual text reads less well. But the commentary makes more sense and helps me to understand the true meaning. This is why I value this translation.

Now, my problem with this passage in the Jane English translation is that it is socialist and I'm a capitalist. It reads like Marx. But, we must understand the Chinese come from a different place in their thinking. While I can't adopt this passage in my own life, I value it for its representation of the time and place of Lao Tzu.

On the other hand, there are other passages that speak to me and help me. For example:

(From the Jane English translation)

Those who know do not talk.
Those who talk do not know.

Keep your mouth closed.
Guard your senses.
Temper your sharpness.
Simplify your problems.
Mask your brightness.
Be at one with the dust of the Earth.
This is primal union.

He who has achieved this state
Is unconcerned with friends and
enemies, With good and harm, with honor and
disgrace. This therefore is the highest state of
man.

The above passage makes sense to me. It has a libertarian tone and it appeals to my own belief system of listening more than talking, absorbing information and knowledge rather than providing it to others. We learn from listening, not talking. When we speak, we regurgitate our own thoughts. When we listen, we garner new information and knowledge.

The above passage is from the Jane English translation. Now for the Derek Lin translation.

Those who know do not talk
Those who talk do not know

Close the mouth
Shut the doors
Blunt the sharpness
Unravel the knots
Dim the glare
Mix the dust
This is called Mystic Oneness

They cannot obtain this and be closer
They cannot obtain this and be distant
They cannot obtain this and be benefited
They cannot obtain this and be harmed
They cannot obtain this and be valued
They cannot obtain this and be degraded
Therefore, they become honored the world.

This translation tells us the "dust" is a metaphor for the material world. Sharpness refers to the sharp edge of arrogance. It carefully explains each sentence and makes it clear.

The Tao Te Ching is hard to understand in some places and in some translations. I read this lovely translation daily. It's nnotated and explained.

This is a beautiful translation of this extraordinary masterpiece and I recommend it highly.

Title: Masterful translation, 'handle with care'
Date: Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2018
Review: The translator has put a lot of thought into this translation. As I read it, the translation masterfully uses the english language device of the strong verb, which enables the text to carry through its rhythm throughout the 81 chapters.

I have just two overall criticisms, about the annotations, and about the purpose of the text. The annotations are more introductory narrative expositions than critical analysis. They are meant to prepare and open the reader to the chapters, not necessarily to elucidate the completeness of each line. To give just one example, chapter 11 discusses , in a nutshell, the nature of activity, creativity, and space, of which the annotations hardly provide an analysis (to give just one example). I would read the chapters as they stand, and look at the annotations only if there is a real question or lack of clarity about the chapters. Reading the other way around, or beginning with the annotations, and then moving to the chapters, risks screwing up the genuine experience of the complexities of the chapters that at the same time are also simple truths.

Obviously, an entire world view on metaphysics and cosmology is used or presumed by the original author, and if this were to be defined or discussed in the one page annotations, it would raise the annotations beyond the introductory level for the purpose of which I am understanding them to have been written.

Regarding the purpose of the text, it must be kept in mind that this book is a treatise on good government, which means it was written for someone who wants to rule. This makes the text doubly interesting. The book indicates that to rule well, the ruler must know the people s/he governs. This also means that the people, in order to live well, must understand the ruler in his/her different manifestations (see, for example, chapters 17 ff.). So the book must work both ways. More details could have been provided on this, in the foreword or in the annotations.

Title: At last, a translation that makes sense
Date: Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2021
Review: My wife and I are currently almost finished reading Derek Lin’s “The Tao of Joy”, 365 short essays on living the Tao. It is our 4th time through reading one essay each morning before we meditate, practice T’ai Chi Ch’uan, and go for a woods walk with our dog. I finally decided that it was time to tackle Derek Lin’s translation of Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching. For the past 40 years, I had never been able to make any sense of most of the other translations. So it was with great joy and relief that I read (twice) Lin’s translation and annotations. Probably the most important difference was in Lin’s translation of Wu Wei as “action without attachment to outcomes” instead of as “non-action” . Lin’s emphasis on diligent practice leading to effortless action was also important.
