Following is a translation of the Dao
De Jing as seen by Siji Tzu. The original work was aimed
at the people and those wishing to lead the people. This
translation of the original Chinese texts brings the philosophies
of Lao Tzu into a fresh light. It has been broken up into
two sections for you to follow. The Dao Jing and the De Jing.
This is the only place that currently holds this wonderful
translation.
The setting is in the Valley of the Mountains in Siji Tzu's
village on a warm spring morning. Gathered are a group
of students sitting on the rivers edge. The sun is rising
over a mountain behind Siji Tzu. The grass they sit on
is a deep green. The river and sky are of deep blues.
Those of you who are really interested in this translation can make a trip to this wonderful place, it is becoming easier to travel here because of the availability of
cheap airline tickets. You can take yourself back to this wonderful moment, and sit where the students sat and become part of the story.
From memory, Siji Tzu recites his interpretation of the Dao
De Jing in words he feels will relay its true meaning to
his students. Though the thoughts are of the great master,
Lao Tzu, the heart of this text is of Siji Tzu.
