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. This beautiful and highly functional app brings Taoist wisdom into your heart and hand, and allows you to share selections with friends at the touch of a button. This lite version contains the complete odd-numbered passages. Additional content and emailing feature is available through an In App Purchase.
