About this listen

Newly Recorded by Sam Torode in 2025

The Tao Te Ching is a series of meditations on the mysterious nature of the Tao—the Way, the guiding light, the very source of all existence. According to Lao Tzu (a name meaning "the old master"), the Tao is found where we would least expect it—not in the strong but in the weak; not in speech but in silence; not in doing but in "not-doing."

Wise yet worldly, spiritual yet practical, the Tao Te Ching is beloved by seekers all the world over. The Ancient Renewal edition is rendered by Sam Torode based on the 1919 translation by Dwight Goddard, making this ancient work accessible to contemporary listeners.

This audiobook is read by Sam Torode and enhanced with meditative frequencies.
