I made this video years ago.   I am pleased to see it reposted.

Homage to the supreme Buddha
Homage to the supreme Dhamma
Homage to the supreme Sangha
🙏🙏🙏

This is much less dry than other translations of this classic. Thanks for posting it.

Jocob Needlemam, the most impressive narrator. Both the Tao Te Ching and the Dammapada with him are great.

His voice is amazing
This is the best reading on YouTube

It has been a long time since Ive listen to this wisdom. This knowledge is purely absolute.

I listen to this and the Tao Te Ching read by Jacob Needleman over and over

Thank you Buddha madre for your wisdom 🙏🏽 I receive it

From my western perspective, one thing I like about this is the imperative to find the true, noble path, the path that gives pleasure looking back from the future life. (and that which helps attain Nirvana, which I can't comment on). One thing I find difficult to accept is that if people aren't on this path they are blind or immoral. I feel that people are complex with genuine traits and less desirable traits. For example some of those traits are primal desires. I don't think everyone can overcome them. But the text definitely helps me to reflect on living a true and sincere life and I took down notes.

Jacob Needleman also did the audiobook of the Tao de Jing, if you can find it, it's awesome. Perfect.

Beautifully narrated. Cross your legs, straighten your back,close your eyes and visualise The Buddha sat before you. That's just what I did and it truly felt like the Buddha himself was speaking the words.🙏🌹 Sadhu🌹Sadhu🌹Sadhu🙏
