He is reckoned a scholar who worked as a record keeper in the court of Zhou in the sixth century B.C., and is best known as the author of  Tao Te Ching, a fundamental text of  Taoism.Translated roughly as “the way of integrity,” Tao Te Ching contains political advice for rulers; lessons on leading a balanced life; guidance on self-knowledge, peace, humility, virtue, morality; and common wisdom.Written more than two thousand years ago, this treatise is one of the most translated works of world literature. Its ancient wisdom still stands relevant in modern times.","brand":"Fingerprint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48759515447525,"sku":"NP9789354406690","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9789354406690.jpg?v=1775598848","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/tao-te-ching-deluxe-hardbound-edition-isbn-9789354406690","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
