Summary: "Great Gift of Love for the Soul"

I treasure this book which I bought on Amazon in hardback 2 years or so ago. I still pick it up almost daily, and miss it when I leave it behind. I get new and deeper meaning from the vibration of the words each time. I just read a review that rated it as 1 star-- I, myself, could care less about its technical aspects being 'right' or 'wrong' or whatever else--all I know is it keeps helping me open my heart more and more--accepting all things, all people, and life as it is, as all is one.

Summary: "Fascinating!!"

This translation is absolutely magickal! Everything about it is sheer poetry. Mitchell's translation may not be word-for-word, but he creates a poetic version that tells the story as it was meant to be told in English format. This translation is nowhere near dry reading, so if you've read other translations and found yourself bored or confused, give this one a try.

Summary: "A fabrication"

In his preface and notes which form a part of this book, Mitchell:(1) makes clear his belief that Lao-tzu is a historical person, rather than mythical figure, (2) asserts that the Tao Te Ching ("TTC") is the work of a single author, Lao-tzu, and (3) states that his "most essential preparation" for writing his version of the TTC was a 14 year study of Zen Buddhism, "which brought me face to face with Lao-tzu and his true disciples, the early Chinese Zen masters." As to assertions 1 and 2, for the past 40 years, experts in Taoism (I will define "experts in Taoism" as professors in Taoist studies, literate-unlike Mitchell--in classical Chinese, teaching at US, Asian or European universities, who have published books on Taoism) have unanimously agreed that there is a total absence of documentary evidence for the existence of Lao-tzu, and that the TTC is definitely not the work of one author. And the overwhelming majority of experts on Taoism are in agreement that Taoism and Zen Buddhism are NOT identical or substantially identical religions or philosophies. In a review of Mitchell's TTC in the 10/26/89 issue of "The Nation," the reviewer David Hinton observed " by my rough estimation, in the course of translating the (TTC)...(approximately 985 lines) Mitchell has rewritten about 150 lines so radically that they bear virtually no relation to the original, has ELIMINATED about 250 lines, and about 170 lines HAVE BEEN INVENTED OUT OF THIN AIR (emphasis added)...Sometimes the inventions replace lines Mitchell has deleted, sometimes they are simply added to what was already there. In either case they correspond to nothing whatsoever in the text...I suppose Mitchell's crowning moment comes in Chapter 50, where lines of his own invention are crowned with commentary by Zen master San Seung." For his translations of the works of classical Chinese poets, Hinton subsequently received the top two US poetry translation awards-- the Landon Award and the PEN Award. Stephen Mitchell has not received and will not receive either of these two awards--professional translators, unlike the other Amazon reviewers of this book, understand and reject what Mitchell does, which is fabrication--or more bluntly, the creation of falsehoods. If Mitchell has produced and passed off on book buyers a work which , contrary to its title, bears little resemblance to the received text, he does reveal truths about his own character. One need only read the TTC lines he has deleted from his version. In Chapter 8, for example, Mitchell deletes the following 3 lines:"In giving, the good thing is being like Heaven/In speaking the good thing is sincerity/In affairs the good thing is ability."
