He is reckoned a scholar who worked as a record keeper in the court of Zhou in the sixth century B.C., and is best known as the author of  Tao Te Ching, a fundamental text of  Taoism.Translated roughly as “the way of integrity,” Tao Te Ching contains political advice for rulers; lessons on leading a balanced life; guidance on self-knowledge, peace, humility, virtue, morality; and common wisdom.Written more than two thousand years ago, this treatise is one of the most translated works of world literature.
