So Who is Lao Tzu? He was an ancient Chinese philosopher and writer. He is the reputed author of the Tao Te Ching, the founder of philosophical Taoism.
老子是誰？他是中國古代哲學家和作家。他是著名的《道德經》作者，道家哲學的創始人。
The philosophy of Taoism has been endured for over 2,600 years. In Chinese culture, Lao Tzu is considered “One of the highest guiding principles for hoping to change”, e.g. ‘Hoping to change your mindset’; ‘Hoping to change your life for better’, ‘Hoping to change a social phenomenon’……….
道家哲學已有2600多年的歷史，經久不衰。《老子》被中國人認為是“期望改變的最高指導原則之一”，例如“希望改變你的心態”, “希望改變: 生活得更好”，“希望改變社會現象”……….
I am Chinese and happened to study Tradition Chinese Medicine. I used to presume that almost everyone had heard of Lao Tzu including Westerner. I was wrong.
作為一個中國人，碰巧學過傳統中醫，以前以為每個人都聽說過《老子》，包括西方人。我錯了!
Now twenty years later, such presumption may stand because people in this modern time urgently need Taoism philosophy (and other authentic spirituality wisdom) as the compass of life. Lao Tzu’s charm and reputation has widely spread by elaborating the nature and the principles of how human society operates.
二十年後的今天，這種假設可能成立，因為現代人迫切需要道家哲學（和其他靈性智慧）作為生命的指南針。《老子》的魅力和聲譽通過闡述人類及社會運作的本性和原則而廣為傳播。
如果你一直想改變而未採取行動，也許現在是你通過閱讀道家哲學書籍採取行動的時候了。推荐這些英文書 (1.) Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, (2.) Tao: The Watercourse Way by Alan W. Watts, or (3.) 365 Tao: Daily Meditations by Ming-Dao Deng.
If you have been wanting to change without action, perhaps it’s your high time to take action by reading books of Taoism philosophy like (1.) Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, (2.) Tao: The Watercourse Way by Alan W. Watts, or (3.) 365 Tao: Daily Meditations by Ming-Dao Deng.
