He is buried there. The Stephen Mitchell version is the most accessible, but he re-translates a lot of phrases that do actually have profound connotations. After hanging with his version for a while, I highly suggest studying Red Pine's translation. He has commentary from dozens of accomplished taoist and buddhist masters who put the chapters in context of the mindset of their time, which reveals a lot of dimension you just don't get with other translations. Red Pine actually did two versions, the older one has a tree on the cover and then the slightly updated version has pebbles on the cover.

They're both excellent and the phrasing is slightly different all over the book. I've searched high and low for a good translation of the Tao. Lau is the best scholarly version I've found.

Tao Te Ching (Spanish Edition) by Lao Tse (2017, Paperback)

Very well researched and goes into great detail regarding the origins and different interpretations. The language is poetic, but not flowery.

I bought a copy 30 years ago. I've read a variety of other translations before and since, but I think this one is probably my favorite. Like you say, it is poetic, but it is also clear. In my opinion, it's definitely the Addis - Lombardo translation. It's true to the original Chinese and maintains much of its rythm and feeling.

It depends on what you're looking for. A good scholastic version won't be terribly poetic, and vice versa for more poetic or literary versions. The question is, what are you looking to get out of it? This is the edition I prefer.

Tao Te Ching by Tzu, Lao

Some academics like the Penguin Classics edition. That should probably be your baseline and then take a look at a few different versions.

Your library will probably have a few or order them for you to compare before you figure out which one you prefer. That's my favorite translation as well.

The definitions and background are really helpful. Ames and Rosemont also did a really good translation of the Analects , as well. I've always had an interest in Chinese philosophy, but I got nothing out of the class I took and it killed my interest for years afterwards.
