Its influence has spread widely outside East Asia and it is among the most translated works in world literature.Tao Te Ching can be translated as The Classic of the Way's Virtues, The Book of the Tao and Its Virtue, or The Book of the Way and of Virtue.Enjoy this expertly narrated version of Tao Te Ching!
