: Teachings of Lao Tzu
:
: "How can the divine Oneness be seen? In
: beautiful forms, breathtaking wonders, awe-
: inspiring miracles? The Tao is not obliged
: to present itself this way. It is always
: present and always available. When speech is
: exhausted and mind dissolved, it presents
: itself. When clarity and purity are
: cultivated, it reveals itself. When
: sincerity is unconditional, it unveils
: itself. If you are willing to be lived by
: it, you will see it everywhere, even in the
: most ordinary things."

Just had to notice that the above quote is not translation from original, Hua Hu Jing, but from Brian Walker's book for which he said himself is inspired by supposed "translation" of Hua Hu Jing by his guru/teacher Hua-Ching Ni, which is, BTW, also not translation of original Hua Hu Jing but Ni's fiction. Their books are fake and, unfortunately, have nothing to do with original Hua Hu Jing.
They are mousetraps for naive and credulous newagers.
Too much fuss about something not worth of mentioning, and definitely too many empty words for a Daoist forum :(
Those who do not read Chinese can "taste" its partial translation (the real one) in Livia Kohn's The Taoist Experience.
