Carl Gustav Jung è da ritenersi non solo uno storico psichiatra e psicoanalista ma anche e soprattutto un grandissimo studioso delle culture e filosofie orientali.

Il suo interesse per le filosofie orientali era quasi un'ossessione.

Беседы Ошо по историям Чжуан-цзы — это размышления о разных способах поиска своего настоящего "Я". Как известно, многие мистики, стремящиеся к просветлению, сначала терпели неудачу. Они работали над собой днем и ночью, непрестанно медитировали, практиковались — и вновь терпели поражение.

The Tao Te Ching is a Chinese classic text traditionally credited to the 6th-century BC sage Lao Tzu. The text's authorship, date of composition, and date of compilation are debated. The Tao Te Ching, along with the Zhuangzi, is a fundamental text for both philosophical and religious Taoism. It also strongly influenced other schools of Chinese philosophy and religion, including Legalism, Confucianism, and Buddhism, which was largely interpreted through the use of Taoist words and concepts when it was originally introduced to China.

Instead, I sought to capture the way the verses have come alive in me with language and metaphors that are more easily understood by a modern Western listener.

In the midst of our turbulent, conflicted modern life, how do we find a sense of peace and harmony so that we can navigate through this world without breaking down? The ancient philosophy of Tao has been giving us the tools to do this for centuries. Not only does it offer a set of techniques with which to achieve happiness, but it actually invokes a mental shift which results in a transformed mindset. Despite being an ancient philosophy, Tao is as practical and applicable today as it was centuries ago.

El Tao Te King, de más de 2000 años de antigedad, es uno de los ejes referenciales del pensamiento oriental. Atribuido de Lao-Tsé, del cual se dice que estuvo meditando durante 80 años en el vientre de su madre virgen antes de decidirse a nacer, consta de 81 puntos compuestos de máximas breves en torno al "Tao", y de modo singular empieza la obra afirmando que 'Del Tao que se puede hablar, no es el Tao eterno'.
