Lao Tzu “Tao Te Ching”

Philosopher of the Tao and Master of Stillness

Laozi (or Lao Tzu) is the legendary Chinese philosopher and sage credited with founding Taoism and authoring the Tao Te Ching, a poetic guide to the path of harmony and inner peace. His teachings focus on aligning with the Tao—the mysterious, ineffable source of all existence.
