## What is The Hua hu Ching of Lao Tzu?

The Tao te Ching of Lao Tzu is among the most widely translated and cherished books in the world. Singular in its lucidity, revered across cultural boundaries for its timeless wisdom, it is believed among Westerners to be Lao Tzu’s only book.

Few are aware that a collection of his oral teachings on the subject of attaining enlightenment and mastery were also recorded in a book called the Hua Hu Ching (pronounced “wha hoo jing”). The teachings of the Hua Hu Ching are of genuine power and consequence, a road map to the divine realm for ordinary human beings.

I’ve had this app for many years now. It’s that place I know that I can visit and feel referenced, reassured and ready to start my day.  This app has never failed me and I must extend my gratitude to the app provider for honouring the tenets of the HuaHuChing by their very practice in ensuring that users continue to gain access to this access without fail. Thank you!!!

I have the whole app bundle and what I like about them other than the great translations is for how simple they are to use and they look pretty good too. If I had one suggestion it would be to be able to bookmark your favorite passages somehow.
