Not OP, but following. Is this a good translation or should I go for one by a different author?
Julian Davis
no pinyin so it is trash
Gavin Campbell
>pinyin
why should there be pinyin
Isaiah Green
I just think it's a better transcription system, don't take my reaction too seriously. But the oxford world classics version is probably best
Luke Gomez
The Wisdom of LaoTse by Lin YuTang is my favorite translation, also because it includes short stories by Chuang Tzu which are charming.
Liam Lopez
>pinyin
Ah for transcription. Gotcha. I'm OP and already have two translations.
Daodejing by Ivanhoe and one I haven't read which is allegedly more "poetic" by Mitchell.
I'm interested in works beyond Laozi and Zhuangzi. Especially Qiu Chuji as he was in a Jin Yong booka I enjoyed.
Colton Howard
Do you mean Zhuangzi/庄子?
Joshua Rogers
I am being a bit of a jackass because I am studying Chinese at the moment. But I haven't heard of those philosophers before so I'll be sure to check them out
Austin Garcia
>those philosophers
>philosopher(*S*)
How have you not heard of Laozi and/or Zhuangzi at least?
James Miller
Yup
Carter Hughes
Of course I have read them! But not Qiu Chuji
Blake Powell
He can drink a lot of wine.

you retards coudent tell what buddhism is if it came out your ass, the buddhism all you twats refer to comes from the Hīnayāna which is the shitty retarded version of the original doctrines compared with the Mahāyāna which stays way truer to the doctrines. You all are fascinated with a buddhism that is most likely the farthest and least familiar with any eastern doctrines aka not buddhism but some shit Westerners love to praise. As a student studying Traditionalism but more so the orientals i can't help but cringe everytime I see you discuss "Buddhism" its more so some-shit the Westerners took in and adapted to their imagination. You guys think you can follow some chart (like pic-related) and become a Eastern monk and maybe even understand Buddhism itself? gtfo, read guenon's first book so you can get rid of your western prejudices
Jason Peterson
stop spamming this fucking shit copypasta, it's not funny
Nolan Johnson
How much wine?
Alexander Howard
retards replying to it like yourself is what makes it funny
Evan Brown
So can I... drinking beer at the moment though. What is that Jin Yong book that you mentioned? Seems like you know a lot about Daoism already
Kevin Torres
Read Jin Yong to find out
Tyler Brooks
>Seems like you know a lot about Daoism already
nigger I only said that I've read a translation of the daodejing, and name-dropped a few taoists
that's hardly "a lot"
Michael Hall
no it doesnt idiot
Easton Rogers
Well just read Laozi and Zhuangzi... that's all that you need to know about Daoism. Maybe follow a course in classical Chinese to understand the linguistic part of the philosophy. Just trying to help nigger
Angel Ross

Jaxon Carter
