Publisher's Synopsis
Chaung Tzu - considered along with Lao Tzu as one of the great figures of early Taoist thought - used parables and anecdotes, allegory and paradox, to illustrate that real happiness and freedom are found only in understanding the Tao, or way of nature, and dwelling in its unity. This book is a collection of poetic renderings of prose and verse from the Chinese classic that bears Chaung Tzu's name.
