The Sayings of Lao Tzu
ISBN: 9781604593020 / Angielski / Miękka / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Tao which can be expressed in words is not the eternal Tao; the name which can be uttered is not its eternal name. Without a name, it is the Beginning of Heaven and Earth; with a name, it is the Mother of all things.

These two things, the spiritual and the material, though we call them by different names, in their origin are one and the same. This sameness is a mystery, -the mystery of mysteries. It is the gate of all...
