Description
For more than two thousand years, the writings of Chuang Tzu have delighted and challenged seekers of wisdom with their whimsy, depth, and radical insights into the nature of life. This modern-English edition of Musings of a Chinese Mystic brings you a faithful yet refreshed rendering of the classic selection first gathered by translator Lionel Giles. Here you will meet the great Taoist sage through his most memorable parables—the butterfly dream, the useless tree, the butcher who dances with the blade—each one an invitation to see beyond rigid categories and to flow with the effortless spontaneity of the Tao. Whether you are new to Eastern philosophy or returning to an old friend, this edition preserves the spirit of the original: playful, paradoxical, and profoundly liberating. Part of The Modern Wisdom Library.
