The Tao Te Ching, the esoteric but infinitely practical book written in the 6th century BC by Lao Tsu, has been translated more times than any work except the Bible. For centuries, artists, poets, painters, and even gardeners have used the Tao Te Ching as a source of inspiration and guidance.

Both books are illustrated with Feng's calligraphy and English's photographs.
