	Panlatrevo -- The 'Laoist' Community (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In reality, the Daode jing is unquestionably the result of a long process of development, the contours of which can be deduced by combining analysis of the work's form and contents with a knowledge of the social and intellectual history of ancient China.
		But the Daode jing also presents noteworthy extensions of these ideas, in the form of suggestions for wielding political and military power, and in the form of denunciations of the social and ethical teachings of the Confucians.
		In actuality, it most likely represents the efforts of a small group of people to square the teachings of their traditional community with the new social and intellectual debates that they encountered when they left the countryside for a new life in one of the cities of a rapidly changing China.

	Classic of the Way and its Power
		Daode Jing (Classic of the Way and its Power) is also called as Laozi and Laozi Wuqianwen (five thousand articles).
		Daode Jing consists of two sections: the first section Dao Jing is from Chapter 1 to Chapter 37, and the second section De Jing is from Chapter 38 to Chapter 81.
		All the contents of Daode Jing mainly elaborate the profound meanings of Dao (Tao) and De (Virtue), representing the philosophic thoughts of Laozi.

	Taoism
		Both the Daode Jing and the Zhuangzi are composite texts written and rewritten over centuries with varied input from multiple anonymous writers.
		This difficulty is compounded by the diffidence of the writing styles in both the Daode Jing and the Zhuangzi -- which is so marked that it is often tempting to suspect the writers intended to be ambiguous, to invite divergent interpretation as an object lesson in the "inconstancy" of any discourse-based dao.
		Graham argued that the association of Laozi with the Daode Jing dates from a conspiratorial attempt to gain authority over Confucianism by claiming that the Daode Jing stemmed from Confucius' teacher who was known in legend as Laozi.

		Taoism began with the semi-mythical Laozi and the 'Daode Jing,' a brief, brilliant and difficult philosophical treatise on the nature of the universe.
		Quotations from the spare and complex 'Daode Jing' are scattered throughout the exhibit, translated by Asian Art curator He Li, and they are the skeleton upon which the exuberant future course of Taoism was built.

	Image no. 269 \| The Scripture of the Way and Its Virtues, in the Calligraphy of Zhao Mengfu \| AskAsia.org
		The Daode jing (The Scripture of the Way and Its Virtues), a canonical text associated with philosophical Daoism, is relatively concise with about 5,000 characters in 81 short aphoristic sections.
		Zhao Mengfu was also one of the preeminent calligraphers and painters of the Yuan dynasty and is known to have made several complete transcriptions of the Daode jing in his exquisite small xiaokai (regular-script) calligraphy.
		The stones incised with Zhao Mengfu's writing are of considerable inscriptional and historical importance as one of eleven extant engravings of the Daode jing made between the early eighth and early fourteenth centuries that can be used as comparative material with transmitted versions of this canonical text in other media.

		It is written in the Daode jing (The Way and Virtue), the small classic that lies at the heart of Taoism and whose authorship is attributed to Laozi sometime around the sixth century BCE, that "nonexistence makes it work." How appropriate, then, that Laozi's own existence has long been the subject of lively debate.
		The Daode jing is a deep, still pool from which the key tenants of Taoism are drawn.

		He was a contemporary of Confucius and his quest was to find a way to avoid the constant feudal warfare and conflicts that made society chaotic during his lifetime.
		In answer to the question "What is the nature of the natural world?" Lao Zi replied that it is the visible manifestation of the Dao, the Way that contains within itself the matter and form of every physical phenomenon.
		Historians now think that Daode jing was compiled by a group of scholars in the third century BC and that "Laozi" was developed to provide an author for the book.

		In an unbroken flow of couplets, Thomas Meyer's translation of the Daode Jing captures the supple thought of this ancient Chinese text: "best to be like water / always useful / never difficult / settling in low-lying places..." Here, the insights of Laozi are rendered as conversational rather than scholarly, intimate rather than formal.
		As Meyer explains in his afterword, "The Daode Jing is table talk.
		Or a pub and a pint of beer, even." Conceived as such, this Daode Jing offers a vibrant mixture of paradox and plain sense, humor and compassion.

	Healing Dao Forum
		A long-overlooked text of classical times, the Neiye ("Inner Cultivation" or "Inner Development") is a text of some 1600 characters, written in rhymed prose, a form close to that of the Daode jing.
		It seems to have influenced (1) the form, and certain contents, of the Daode jing; (2) the self-cultivation beliefs and practices of many later Taoists (from the Huainanzi and Taiping jing to the 20th-century); and (3) certain fundamental concepts of traditional Chinese medicine.
		But, again like Mencius (and Daode jing 55), the Neiye warns against forceful efforts to control the qi: one cannot make it arrive or stay by an act of will, but only by purifying and realigning oneself.

		Laozi is said to have written the Daode Jing there and then, and when he finished, he departed into the West, where he wandered, never to be heard from again.
		A literal translation of the first line of section 1 of the Daode Jing reads, "dao can dao not constant dao." Remembering that a dao is a system for guiding behaviour, this line can be rendered understandable as "to guide what can be guided is not constant guiding"[5].
		Language was one of these, and the Daode Jing advocates that people "revert to knotting string" [20], as they did before writing was invented.

	Chaos: Continuity Between Early Taoism and Taoist Inner Alchemy
		Chaos is a theme of central importance in the Zhuangzi and the Daode jing and is also a concept that served to inform the metaphorical imagery comprising the texts of Golden Elixir alchemy which reached its full development in China through the Song (960-1280) and Yuan (1280-1368) dynasties.

		The Daode jing often presents the characteristics and features of the Way in a direct discursive analysis (e.g., DDJ 1: "The Way that can be told of is not the Constant Way").
		Unlike the ‘Inner chapters’ that contain no references to Lao Tzu the man and to the text of the Daode jing, many of these chapters show an awareness of the Daode jing by their use of ideas and quotations from this text.
		One of their principal practices was to prevent the loss of one’s finite supply of jing (essential vital energy), which is lost due to over-stimulation of the senses.

		The result was the text known to us as the Daode jing (The Scripture of the Way and its Power) or simply as the Laozi.
		The Daode jing, along with the Bible, is one of the most widely translated books in the world and continues to exert a profound influence on Chinese culture.
		The Daode jing is a compilation of terse aphorisms about the Way (dao) and its Power (de), that totals some 5000 Chinese characters.

		The problem being the various different approaches to translating the Daode Jing due to the ambiguity of the Chinese languages, some might say the essence of the Dao is reflected in the Chinese language, heavily Subtractive as opposed to Additive as most western philosphies might seem.
		On translations of the Ta Te Ching(Daode Jing) I think I am soon going to totaly dismiss the translation Aleister Crowley has provided mainly due to his questionable morality and the Seemingly perverted use of the Concept of 'Do what thou willt, and that shall be the whole of the law'.
		The Tao Te Jing is both a poetic depiction of a philosophy and a guide to proper ruling.

	Heavenly Master Taoism Conference
		The Xuanmiao neipian has come down to us as via the Dunhuang manuscript S. It is cited in the Taiping jing 太平經 (Han to Tang) and is said to have been among the scriptures of the Heavenly Master community under Zhang Lu 張魯 in Hanzhong 漢中 in the early third century.
		The Faxing jing is a Chinese adaptation of material taken from some of the earliest Buddhist scriptures introduced into China, such as the Foshuo A'nan wenshi fo jixiong jing 佛說阿難問事佛吉凶經, translated by An Shigao 安世高 under the Later Han.
		A close correspondence of the Laozi embedded in the Xiang'er to the Daode jing from Mawangdui was already pointed out by William Boltz (in Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies 45, 1982).

	FORE: Publications-Books-CSWR Series-Daoism Introduction
		For most Western commentators until recently, Daoism primarily referred to the “mystical wisdom” found in several ancient “classical” texts (especially the Daode jing and Zhuangzi) and was seen to be fundamentally in tune with heightened contemporary fears about the increasingly fractured relations between humanity and the natural world.
		In like manner, the study of the organized Daoist religion in the past and present is also leading to new insights concerning the meaning and use of the Daode jing and Zhuangzi (see especially the papers in section four of this volume).
		The Daode jing warns that if we speak of the Dao, such speaking must be inconstant, unusual, or extraordinary.

		According to these, the beginnings of Louguan reach back to the Zhou and Yin Xi's [Guan Yin's] reception of the Daode jing, followed by a noble lineage of masters.
		Around this time, certain key texts of Louguan appeared, including the Taishang laojun jiejing on the five precepts as given by Laojun to Guan Yin, the Chuanshou jingjie yi zhujue on ordination into the mysteries of the Daode jing, and the Xisheng jing, a poetic and mystical exegesis of the Daode jing.
		In the sixth century, a leading Louguan master was Wei Jie (496-569), a resident of Mount Hua and first commentator of the Xisheng jing, who participated in court debates with Buddhists and gave Daoist initiation to Emperor Wu in 567.

	Kohn, L.: Early Chinese Mysticism: Philosophy and Soteriology in the Taoist Tradition.
		Covering the period from the Daode jing to the end of the Tang, Livia Kohn reveals an often misunderstood Chinese mystical tradition that continued through the ages.
		Kohn shows how the quietistic and socially oriented Daode jing was combined with the ecstatic and individualistic mysticism of the Zhuangzi, with immortality beliefs and practices, and with Buddhist insight meditation, mind analysis, and doctrines of karma and retribution.
		She goes on to demonstrate that Chinese mysticism, a complex synthesis by the late Six Dynasties, reached its zenith in the Tang, laying the foundations for later developments in the Song traditions of Inner Alchemy, Chan Buddhism, and Neo-Confucianism.
