TAOIST TEACHINGS
Translated from the
Book of Lieh-Tzü
with Introduction and Notes by
LIONEL GILES
M.A., D.Litt.
[1912]
Lieh-Tzü was major Taoist sage who lived c. 350 BCE.
His writings use stories and fables to elucidate the Taoist philosophy of
cooperating with nature; they illustrate the magical powers of
the ancient sages who were so 'in the Tao' that they were able to prolong life,
walk through solid rock, and levitate.
