this translation, narration, preface and the subtle birds/wind in the background... made a masterpiece out of a masterpiece changed my life, heard it thousands of times at the point

So grateful this is here. Didn't let the YouTube take this one away

No matter what I’m going through, this audiobook calms me.

I listen to this audiobook since 2020 and the wisdom of Lao Tzu has changed the way I live. Thank you!🙏

I’ve been listening to this for years. So thankful for this translation. I find it the easiest to understand of all the translations out there. ❤️❤️

Alan Watts brought me here.

SIMPLY the best introduction. Beautiful voice. Careful choice of words. A lovely rendition...

This audio keeps getting suppressed and pops back up somewhere else, kudos to the channel maintainer ❤

I can never be tired of listening to it everyday❤

I like playing Chinese instrumental music in the background to this book. It makes listening more dynamic

I own many copies of this book and I'll stop and listen to it anytime I come across it.

YOU ARE A TRUEBORN PROPHET, HEIR OF THE PROMISE AS SPOKEN OF BY ABRAHAM

I've read the Tao Te Ching a couple of times, completely different experience having it read.. Much easier to digest. Thank you for your hard work and care.

Here because of Dan Harmon talking about it multiple times on Harmontown and saying it changed his life when he was in high school.

Truth,good man. Your voice delivers on this epic tranformative narration of the way& how it manifests. Absolute Truth! Thankyou!

Every time I listen hear something new
