The Tao te Ching is one of the most
widely read sacred texts, due to its simplicity and depth. It appeal is
universal, and has been found relevant by Christians, Hindus, Muslims,
Buddhists, and even Quantum Physicists. Attributed to Lao-tzu, (580-500
B.C.), it may predate him by several centuries. The earliest known
manuscripts of the Tao te Ching date to the third century B.C.
