Was the Tao te Ching written by Lao Tzu, or was he passing on even more ancient teachings?
The Tao Te Ching is attributed to the sixth century B.C. Chinese sage Lao Tzu. There is so little written of Lao Tzu that some even believe he may have been a legendary figure, although there is a strong tradition in Confucianism that he did live.

Elizabeth Clare Prophet helps us see how the Tao shows us the Highest Virtue, and connects us to the meaning of all life.
