The Book of Tao is one of the most mysterious books ever written. After 2,500
years, the ancient wisdom within is still relevant today, providing the modern
reader with a profound guide for living a better life.
The author, the wise old Lao Tsu, is believed to have been the keeper of the
library of the Emperor of China. Soon after his retirement, he embarked on a
journey to the Himalayan mountains from which he never returned. At the border
gate, he left this small book of wisdom, which has been translated and read by
millions across the ages.
This edition, with translation and appendices by Zen Master Nissim Amon, offers
a simple, lucid and flowing interpretation of the ancient Chinese ‘bible’ specially
attuned to today’s audience – both in the East and West.

Nissim Amon embarked on a life’s journey through Korea and Japan, where, from a young age, he lived in Buddhist monasteries and discovered a world of meaning and peace. Today, he runs a successful international center for Buddhism and meditation in Greece, serving thousands of people from all over the world.
