This six-week journey begins September 25

For over 2,500 years, this text has been shared, studied, copied, and translated into countless languages.

What is it about this very short book that has caused it to be so cherished for millennia?

Perhaps it lies in the simplicity of the writing.

At its heart, it is simply a book about how to live — how to live in an upright, honest, and balanced way.

For some, it is a book of philosophy.

For others, a book of statecraft.

But for Daoists, it is a manual for self-cultivation.

When read with that understanding, the text reveals many clear instructions:

For deep meditation…

For living a life of ease and delight…

For aligning our own qi system with the ultimate system —Dao itself.

Here we are, living in the 21st century, an age of “miracles and wonders.”

Yet the ancient challenges of being human remain the same.

How can we be happy, healthy, and whole?

How do we know when to move forward, when to retreat, and when to sit quietly and “do nothing”?

How can we access inner wisdom — and know how to act upon it?

How can we feel safe in an increasingly uncertain world?

Laozi understood these questions, and he shares his insights with us in a way that has echoed through the past 2,500 years.

We can reap this harvest if we are willing to slow down enough to read, listen, and meditate upon the Old Master’s teachings.

If we open our minds and hearts to the guidance contained within this book.

If we are honest with ourselves about who and what we truly are.
