POPS81 Ways to a Better Life The Tao Te Ching is roughly translated as The Book of the Way and its Virtue. From Wikipedia: This ancient book is also central in Chinese religion, not only for Taoism (Daojiao 道教) but Chinese Buddhism, which when first introduced into China was largely interpreted through the use of Taoist words and concepts.
