Lao Tzu

, according to legend, is said to have climbed on a water buffalo and ridden westward toward Tibet. He was saddened by humanity's ambivalence in cultivating the natural goodness he believed in and advocated and so he removed himself from the world seeking greater solitude in his later years. The story goes that at a mountain pass a gatekeeper sensing that this man was a sage tried to persuade him not to subject himself to the elements of the Himalayas. But the gatekeeper failed to dissuade Lao Tzu from his journey. So he asked Lao Tzu if he would at least leave a record of his beliefs to the civilization he was deserting. This Lao Tzu consented to do. He retired for three days and returned with a slim volume of 5000 characters. It was the Tao te Ching, which can be translated as The Way and Its Power or The Book of the Way. The Tao te Ching has been described as a testament to humanity's at-home-ness in the universe. It can be read in half an hour or over a lifetime.
